An interesting exercise might be to
code up a small program to call adjtimex with timex.status |= STA_INS,

Setting the date to just before midnight June 30 UTC and then running
the following as root triggered the crash on a modified 2.6.10.  Anyone
see anything wrong with the code below, or is this a valid indication of
a bug in the leap second code?
Fixed:

Hi Chris,
does that qualify for inclusion into 2.6.21.6?

Yes, it has already been sent to -stable.

Okay, we all survived Y2K and this little glitch. Puh! ;-)
Can you please explain in which configuration this problem got triggered.

Does it make sense to have some testing environments which have the date
set to about one month in the future to catch any crashes like that,
preventing machines in production from failing?!

Best regards,
