This makes me a bit nervous. The current offset between UTC and TAI
is about 31 seconds. I always wonder if this means that the apparent
time of the Unix "epoch" has moved, and whether this depends on
whether or not your C library knows about all the leap seconds
(e.g. do clever/stupid C libraries differ on the time_t value for that
date?). One of these days I'll sit down in a quiet darkened room and
think about it :-)
