In related news, leap day also broke the issuance of driver's licenses
in four prefectures in Japan. This occurred at about 20:15 local time,
or 11:15 UTC, so it's not clear how the leap day caused the problem -
perhaps a once-a-day app run after the end of the work day?

Leap day also broke the videogames Theatrhythm and WRC. The workaround
for the videogames is to change the date on your console. Reports of the
bug have suggested that it be fixed by the year 2028.
