[H-GEN] Leap second?

[Chris Pascoe]

Hi all - 

I'm curious as to whether anyone noticed what appeared to be a leap second
today?

28 Dec 06:58:14 xntpd[18369]: synchronized to 128.250.36.2, stratum=1
 1 Jan 10:15:43 xntpd[18369]: time reset (step) 0.998943 s
 1 Jan 10:15:43 xntpd[18369]: synchronisation lost
 1 Jan 10:21:03 xntpd[18369]: synchronized to 128.250.36.2, stratum=1

I got (roughly) this on several machines running xntpd today..  which
would seem to correspond to the skipping of a second at Midnight GMT.  I
hadn't seen anything about it coming up (not that I've read much lately).
