If dateAdd worked that way, you'd have to adjust for the server time zone
constantly. It doesn't. It's just math.

I can confirm that two servers, both running CF9 on Windows Server 2008,
both in the Eastern time zone, both recognizing that Daylight Savings Time
is in effect, are returning date/time values one hour apart.

Moreover, I can confirm that a server in the Central time zone, also
recognizing that Daylight Savings Time is in effect, returns a date/time
value that is the same as one of the EDT servers, and one hour _later_ (not
earlier) than one of the EDT servers.

After I've played with the JVMs, I'll report back.
