RE: Leap second

Maybe these messages from my Linux desktop's syslog provide some clue (logfile timestamps are in CST):

        Dec 31 17:59:59 (MyLinuxBox) Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC
        Dec 31 18:17:55 (MyLinuxBox) ntpd[8140]: kernel time sync enabled 0001

Interesting seconds there in the top line, although I suspect it's just the format of the message and not an actual overflow of the seconds.

Just a thought...

How would leap second cause your server to crash?

Did anyone experience DB crash due to leap second at 7pm on 12./31 ? One of our dev server did crash.
