Saw it on TV - the display goes from 2012-06-30 23:59:59 to 2012-06-30 23:59:60 and then to 2012-07-01 00:00:00


>>A leap second is being added at midnight tonight, June 30 2012. VFP (and probably most of the world's software) doesn't handle it properly:

>>gt = {^2012-06-30 23:59:59}
>>?gt + 1 && returns 2012-07-01 00:00:00
>>* It should return 2012-06-30 23:59:60

>>Just a little something (i.e. huge can of worms) to be aware of if you need second-accurate time calculations that span the leap second.
