The effects of those leap seconds are a clear and present danger.
Some people claim this. Others disagree.
People have been working for the past 15 years to make leap seconds better, yet in the last leap second all Linux kernels crashed due to a subtle bug that is only triggered when there was a leap second.
Um, that is false. All linux kernels did not crash, in fact NONE of mine did. Did *some* multiprocessing kernels go into a spin lock when they issued a printk? Yes. I admit to wanting to know why the cry isn't "Symmetric multiprocessing is hard" rather than "leap seconds are hard". _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
