Yes, I have confirmed that when you do a dateAdd() of seconds since the
epoch (1/1/70) that puts you in DST, the dateAdd() adds an unexpected
additional hour, in other words:
<cfset theEpoch = "01-01-1970 00:00:00"/>
<cfset secsSinceEpoch = dateDiff('s', theEpoch, someDateAndTime) />
<cfset reconstitutedDate = dateAdd('s', secsSinceEpoch, theEpoch) />
reconstitutedDate will be one hour off from someDateAndTime if the date
is in DST.
