Hi all
I've found a partial answer to my problem with the time zones. We restarted
the Cold Fusion (4.5) server (for an unrelated reason) and I found that the
time zone offset was reset to 0 when the server came up again. It still
thinks it's in the English(US) locale, but at least the clock is not giving
crazy results...
[[ is this something to do with Locales being a windows phenomenon which
doesn't translate to the Linux/Solaris ports of CF? ]]

I'd be interested in knowing if any one finds a more satisfactory answer to
this.
