If 1 second caused that much trouble I would hate to have seen what 100 years would have done.

I heard about that. But I was busy while out for a drink at the time. So I wouldn't have really noticed.

Huh? Do all these servers have real-time syncronization with an atomic clock? Why wouldn't a regular sync have sufficed?

What is the error message that causes the crash for this leap second problem?
