As seen at
http://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2015-May/006866.html
and also as experienced at Keck Observatory last night, some models
of GPS time servers just did their firmware's W1K rollover, so those
are saying the date is 1995-09-17.

But the leap second is, inappropriately, getting the blame!
