Hi Kevin,

For anyone curious about how Japan is handling the leap second, since it
is occurring at 8:59:59 in the morning on a business day, the following
two articles refer to the solution that Japanese financial exchanges are
using a mini leap smear spread over two hours before the opening bell.
For what it's worth, I've just submitted a patch for ntpd which
optionally supports Google leap smear:
"Bug 2855 - leap smear support for ntpd"
http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2855
I really doubt that real NTP clients can follow a server smearing a leap
second over 2 hours only.
