So, I went to update my fix to use time2posix() instead of the hack I put in,
and I discovered that at least under Linux, the time2posix() and posix2time()
functions aren't included in the standard C library -- they're included in
"-lz", which isn't installed by default, at least not in Slackware 2.3.
Are there any other UNIX platforms that support leap seconds but don't have
time2posix() and posix2time() in the C library or in a library that's
installed by default?
What I conclude from this is that as kludgy as my fix was, it works, and it's
more portable than time2posix()....
