Yes, this affected us.  Can someone explain why this was done?  Was it designed 
to be a test of some kind?  The Linux leap second kernel bug that was 
discovered a month ago was only patched on July 17; that patched kernel has 
presumably not made it to many (most?) people yet.  So if it's a test it seems 
wildly premature.
