This is similar to the jiffycounter wrapping, since this doesn't happen that often, it's not commonly tested for. Good way is to start the jiffy counter so it wraps after 10 minutes of uptime. That way you'll run into any bugs quickly. Either we should abolish the leap second or we should make leap second adjustments (back and forth) on a monthly basis to exercise the code.

You could do this, move back on even-numbered months and forward on odd. Any real adjustment could be done via inhibiting the monthly change...

This is a hard sell though...

'fraid so.
