On 2011-12-29 24:00:00, Independent Samoa advanced its clocks
by 24 hours, to 2011-12031 00:00:00. There was no December 30.
This was announced well in advance, and published in advance in
the IANA database. It could have been handled. Linux systems
had it right well in advance of the critical date.
They did it to move to the other size of the International Date Line.
The announcement was need since in effect they moved to a different
Time Zone.
