Leap seconds and date(1)

[Tom Ivar Helbekkmo <tih%hamartun.priv.no@localhost>]

Happy new year! :)

Being awake, I decided to observe the leap second.  Not much luck.
Turns out that date(1) shows :59 for two seconds, instead of going to
the correct :60 during the extra second.  Is that correct behaviour?
