Does anyone have any interesting anecdotes about this condition maybe from 
previous leap seconds where this same thing happened?  I'm thinking stuff like 
distributed systems (web apps, enterprise systems, accounting) which record 
events can end up recording them in the wrong order and exposing previously 
unreachable code paths.. or even systems which bail out when they see a large 
time delta like this.  Specifically I'm asking about high level applications 
which indirectly rely on GPS for time of day, like a datacenter which uses an 
NTP appliance containing one of the affected GPS chips.  I'm curious what kind 
of real world failures are experienced because of this.

Thanks,
Laszlo
