You misunderstand the problem. :) The problem is not "clock skips backward one second," because most of the time that's not what happens. The problem is that most software does not handle it well when the clock ticks ... :59 :60 :00 instead of ticking directly from :59 to :00.
POSIX NEVER shows :60.
Then I hope POSIX does not claim to represent UTC, because UTC does, no? (IE: somewhere between "a bit" and "a lot" more expansion was called for there; most of us don't have ntp.org email addresses. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
