This is not the first leap second, in fact I believe it is the 26th since 1970. I am surprised that there still is software, running on mission critical machines, that still cannot cope with it. Apparently still not grown up from the children's play machine era.
One of the particular appearances of the problem was, that the software could not cope with the 60th second presented by time servers in the last minute of the day. The solution was to stop the time servers before midnight and let them continue after midnight.
