Nope, that a murmur, not a peep, barely even a log entry anywhere. And no whinging customers (surprisingly!)

You fellows in the US and Europe might be amazed by this, but down here in Africa the leap-second wasn't announced AT ALL. A few folk here and there knew of it, that's all. Me?

Being just a user of Linux desktop applications the leap-second issue has no relevance to my activities. However, I have read in several places that any potential problem on Linux systems had been traced to a bug that was fixed several kernel releases ago. Anyone who keeps up to date should have experienced nothing. Frank Peters
