Since leap seconds apply to UTC, won't the leap second be in about 22
minutes?

Just a reminder that there's a leap second tonight.
Last time I watched for what happened on 01/01/2006, there was a
little bit of chaos: http://markmail.org/message/cpoj3jw5onzhhjkr?q=%22kevin+day%22+leap+second+reminder+nanog&page=1&refer=cnkxb3iv7sls5axu
I've been told that some of the causes of these problems are fixed
on any reasonably recent ntp distribution, but just in case, you
might wanna keep an eye out if you're seeing any weirdness. The
worst damage I'd heard from anyone after that event was their clock
being significantly off for several hours.
