Guy, The precision kernel modifications implemented by me and in most current Unix kernels operate exactly as I specified. The 61st second is the second in which the clock is stopped or almost stopped. The "almost" refers to the Lamport provision that successive readings of the clock are monotone definite increasing. If the clock is read during the stopped second, it inreases by one LSB for each read. Thus, at the end of the second a small correction might be necessary. See the white paper on the NTP project page.
