true, this depends on the definition of "pending". however, i found it a bit odd that the software reports a scheduled (but not pending this month) leap second on july 1st. it's june 30 that is 86401 seconds long, not the day after. in my opinion there is nothing between june 30 and july 1 that lasts 1 second.

but in the meantime it dawned on me that maybe the leap second date respects my time zone (CET; UTC + 1). and indeed, as soon as i change ptim:tzone from 1 to 0, the reported leap second date is june 30!

   Well, Said can tell us for sure (since he owns the firmware in the
   Fury) but you could call this is correct, because:

   1) a leap second is not pending this month
   2) the current leap second count is still 16
   3) the next leap second happen between 2015-06-30 and 2015-07-01
   4) the current month ends with a 60 second minute

   Check again after June 1st.
