[LEAPSECS] Leap seconds still broken

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

There’s been lots of discussion about fixing kernels[1], application software, databases, etc etc to handle leap seconds properly.

Meanwhile over in reality even the software that’s supposed to keep track of time basically still fails on leap seconds. Even some national standard time servers got it wrong.
