Wow, how'd I miss that, I wonder? :)

I'm just angry at the jack moves pulled by last minute timezone changes
back in Australia, and the massively stupid repercussions seen throughout
chunks of IT (incl. network auditing setups I had to poke at the time.)

I'll add "handling second == 60" to the list of things I should check
for in my code. Thanks. :)
