It appears that this function uses the system (JAVA? Server?) locale, instead of the locale defined via setlocale().
Can anyone confirm this?

In ColdFusion 6.1 this function always used the JVM default locale to format the string.
This behavior was changed in 7.0 to use the locale set with SetLocale().
