Each time one of Dan Bernstein's systems misses a leap second announcement, the TAI value that this system uses from then on will be off by one more second.
Correct. This means that local times will still be displayed correctly, but time differences across N missed leap seconds will be off by N. In other words: ``Without a leap-second table, libtai performs just as badly as Markus's proposal.'' ---Dan 1000 recipients, 28.8 modem, 10 seconds. http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail/mini.html
