    8:17p
    [$] A GPSD time warp
    The GPSD project provides a
    daemon for communicating with various GPS devices in order to retrieve the
    location information that those sensors provide. But the GPS satellites
    also provide highly accurate time information that GPSD can
    extract     for use by Network Time
    Protocol     (NTP) servers. A bug in the GPSD code will cause time to
    go backward in October, though, which may well cause some havoc if affected NTP
    servers do
    not get an update before then.
