I'd still consider that suspect, but this is proof by "select isn't
broken".  What does date -d do with 31-DEC-2000 23:59:60 which is where
a leap second would be inserted in real life?  It might be employing
subtle checks to Do The Right Thing (by rolling over) in most cases.
We don't have -d on our date, so I cannot test this.

I certainly hope the people who write and test the date command know more
than me about this sort of thing!
