Interesting:

"
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:

2012 June 30, 23h 59m 59s
2012 June 30, 23h 59m 60s
2012 July 1, 0h 0m 0s
"

See:

So, there were two consecutive second " markers" which were literally distinct, but numerically identical.

What "design pattern" for timing did Linux violate? In other words, what lesson should we be learning to assure that we don't have a similar problem at an application level on a future leap second?

Looks like this is a low-level Linux issue ... see Shay's email to the
