Ah heck, Grumpy and PeeCee are synced off an Irix machine which is 
running whatever xntpd was shipped on the SGI Freeware 2.0 CDROM. Its 
not logging so I don't have record of what it saw. Guess I should get a 
modern copy of xntpd on that machine so I'll be ready for the next leap 
second.  :-)

If I was thinking, should have left this system dialed in to see what 
happened.
