Finally we begin to see folks stand up and identify their systems
as having abysmally failed to implement the UTC standard.

In particular, see their technical bulletin
http://www.acrelectronics.com/alerts/Technical%20Bulletin%202005-12%20_Leap-Second_%20V1_1.pdf

They indicate that one must physically disconnect the unit in order to
get it to work after the leap second.
