In light of David's report and looking at my own similar Windows ntpd
+ PPS GPS setup, I retract my "nuanced" comments about his offset
graph, because I now believe ntpd on Windows misapplied the leap
second completely.  The code scheduled it perfectly, relayed the info
on to clients correctly, then at the moment of truth disarmed the leap
indication on schedule, then went on to consider applying it, and
decided not to as it was no longer armed.  Oops.

It apparently took 12.5 minutes for the receiver to apply the leap
second, between these two clockstats entries:

56109 735.330 127.127.20.1 $GPGGA,001213,
56109 753.320 127.127.20.1 $GPGGA,001232,

735 - (12 * 60 + 13) = 2s
753 - (12 * 60 + 32) = 1s

Leap seconds are exciting.

Cheers,
Dave Hart
