No: 23:59:60 is not the same as 00:00:00

 http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eoppc/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat

So 31.12.2008 will be 86401 seconds long instead of 86400 seconds.

But anyway.. your good old wall-clock (or ntp server ;-) ) doesn't care :)

Unless you live in UTC, the leap second will hit you here in 
Switzerland (CET) on January 1st, 2009, at 00:59:60 :-)

According to the wiki page you cited in an earlier mail...

Regs,
