In fact, we don't jump the clock by an hour at all. The time remains
exactly the same before and after the entry to DST - all that changes is
the representation. If it was, say 0359Z at 1 minute before you enter
DST, then it will be 0401Z at 1 minute afterwards. Further, two
separate users could be logged on to the same computer with one of them
seeing a time change and the other not.
For this reason, the processing for a leap second is fundamentally
different from that for DST.
