I did verify that it worked on my host, when I configured it for leap
seconds (which I normally don't do):
521-penguin $ date -d '2005-12-31 15:59:60'
Sat Dec 31 15:59:60 PST 2005
522-penguin $ date -d '2005-12-31 15:59:61'
date: invalid date `2005-12-31 15:59:61'
523-penguin $ date -d '2004-12-31 15:59:60'
date: invalid date `2004-12-31 15:59:60'
No doubt there are still bugs in the area, as the code doesn't get
exercised much, but the intent is that it should work.
