I brought this up in a previous thread:
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49106

If you execute this code, changing the 'currentHour' at the top to the
current hour in your time zone, tell me if diff1 isn't way off (it
should be 0):

<cfset currentHour = "2">
<cfset date1 = createDateTime(year(now()),
                                month(now()),
                                day(now()),
                                currentHour,
                                minute(now()),
                                second(now()))>
<!--- calculate how many seconds elapsed --->
<cfset diff1 = DateDiff("s",date1,now())>

<cfset date2 = createDateTime(year(now()),
                                month(now()),
                                day(now()),
                                hour(now()),
                                minute(now()),
                                second(now()))>
<!--- calculate how many seconds elapsed --->
<cfset diff2 = DateDiff("s",date2,now())>

<cfoutput>
        date1: #date1#<br />
        diff1: #diff1#<br />
        date2: #date2#<br />
        diff2: #diff2#
</cfoutput>

The problem I'm seeing is that the hour from date1 is on the 12 hour
clock, while date2's hour is on the 24 hour clock.  I'd think CF would
be able to correctly parse that.  Or am I getting something confused?
I already know how to work around this, I'm just curious about this
weird behavior.

On a side note, I tried this on both ColdFusion and BlueDragon and get
the same results, which makes me think I'm not getting something.
