Well, the leap standard actually says that a leap second is possible at the
end of any month, with June/dec being prefered, AprSep being next on the
list and the rest being down there. 
Now, ntp has code to say that only June or Dec are accepted, but that is
contrary to the standard. So, none of them should say that there is leap
second coming.
