Thanks for the report. However, the man page is correct. Some systems support accurate calculation of leap seconds, and according to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Leap_second, there have been 24 such times in the last 40 years where the correct time ended in :60 seconds; most recently on Dec 31 2008. I've marked this report closed in the database. -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
