<<On Tue, 29 Mar 1994 14:48:27 -0500, I wrote these tables:

> NTP code wants:		Real Time	UNIX Time
> ---------------		---------	---------
> 30 June 1994, 23:59:59	t		s
> 30 June 1994, 23:59:59	t+1		s
> 01 July 1994, 00:00:00	t+2		s+1

> Timezone code wants:		Real Time	UNIX Time

> 30 June 1994, 23:59:60	t+1		s+1
> 01 July 1994, 00:00:00	t+2		s+2

It occurred to me that I should probably add this table:

NTP plus Timezone code:	Real Time	UNIX Time
-----------------------	---------	---------
30 June 1994, 23:59:59	t		s
30 June 1994, 23:59:59	t+1		s
30 June 1994, 23:59:60	t+2		s+1
01 July 1994, 00:00:00	t+3		s+2

This should make the result of the problem clear.
