An alternative "fix" is to remove /etc/leapsecs.dat and use the
standard timezones rather than the "right" ones.  This ends up
with the clock being close to what everybody else thinks is the
right time and avoids dramas with other software that really
makes a mess of times using the "right" timezones (RCS is the
canonical example).
