I had a hard crash of my lenny system precisely when the leap second was

anything unusual at the time.  Any ideas?
Could you clarify when this happened? Your message has a timestamp of 07:25:25PM -0500, but I thought the leap second was to be applied at
midnight.  Or maybe you're referring to a system in another timezone?

Duh... Of course this was done at midnight UTC.  I see in my logs:

  Dec 31 14:59:59 isto kernel: Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC

Do you run ntp?
