00080 Some readers may be interested in the Date: line on this message.
00081 It is not faked: it was added by a lightly-modified sendmail
00082 program running under a Linux kernel keeping true UTC, with the
00083 timestamp fetched via clock_gettime(CLOCK_UTC) and formatted
00084 using a timespec-aware version of localtime().
00085 
00086 I don't claim that the code behind this demonstration solves every
00087 leapsecond-related difficulty (far from it!), but it's a start.
