  I saw the buzz about this on Slashdot, but as far as I can tell 
none of my systems are having any problems.  I have several 
Debian "squeeze" 2.6.32 64-bit systems, a mix of file servers,
cluster nodes, and desktop workstation systems.  I'm off-site,
it being the weekend, but there's no evidence of trouble.

  I did see a lot of log traffic at "23:59:60" UTC, so the kernels
have the info.  If they're going to lock up at local midnight,
well, I guess I'll find out in half an hour.
