Whatever about DST, this reminds me that there may actually be some real problems in our code with negative leap seconds, and there is still a chance there will be a negative leap second in late 2007. We have a few code-paths that will fail for that I think (like trying to calculate bandwidth rates, or times of downloads and so on). -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: colm+pgp@stdlib.net
