I think it is related to the daylight savings shift, that's why it  
works if you add an hour. Here's what I use, to avoid all problems:

function nextDayDate pDate
   convert pDate to dateitems
   add 1 to item 3 of pDate ----> correction
   convert pDate to short date
   return pDate
end nextDayDate
