Subject: Leap second tonight
Just a reminder that there's a leap second tonight.
Last time I watched for what happened on 01/01/2006, there was a =20
little bit of chaos: http://markmail.org/message/cpoj3jw5onzhhjkr?q=3D%22ke=

I've been told that some of the causes of these problems are fixed on =20
any reasonably recent ntp distribution, but just in case, you might =20
wanna keep an eye out if you're seeing any weirdness. The worst damage =20
I'd heard from anyone after that event was their clock being =20
significantly off for several hours.
