toBinary() no longer functions in CF 8

[Diacritical]

Script worked fine in CFMX 7, but non-functional in CF 8 -- Base64 data is returned from toBinary() in same format as received... but verified as correct. When accessed from CFMX 7, it decodes properly.

Not an answer, but a weird finding....

I can make it extract data in the proper format by chaning a simple toBinary(data) to:

toBinary(toString(toBinary(data)))

This seems like a hack to get around a false positive for binary data in the original (since toBinary returns the original value when it detects binary data).
