During my first few years in the Unix room (starting in 1988) there was what seemed like a semiannual flurry of leap year corrections made to research unix. Apparently, there was some aspect that kept misbehaving, with new bugs appearing at the next shift in time. I never bothered to investigate the specifics, but it happened over several years. There are probably some on this list who know more details. I don’t recall this being a problem on Plan 9. ches
