Hi Ask,
there seems to be an NTP bug related to leap seconds, where a leap second may
be inserted at the end of *any* month.
Have you seen this thread in the NTP newsgroup? It is split over 2 archives in
the questions mailing list archive since it starts end of July and continues
now in August:
http://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/questions/2012-July/033605.html
http://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/questions/2012-August/033611.html
Here is a comment from Dave Hart telling that quite some pool servers are
actually affected since they are still announcing a leap second:

One of my comments tries to explain one possible reason why this may happen,
based on our observations:

I would have liked to send this also to the pool mailing list, but I hadn't
been subscribed to this list, yet. I just have subscribed an hour or so ago,
but have not yet received a confirmation email. So maybe you can forward this
to the pool list.
Best regards,
Martin

Hi all
This is just to warn you that there are now some NTP servers around the
globe spreading a leap second announcement for tomorrow 00:00:00 UTC
(so, basically, in a few hours now).
If you didn't take action before the leapocalypse last month, you better
hurry now.
Ciao
