Simple leap-second checker available

Folks, I wanted to know which of the servers I was synching to was sending 
out those pesky incorrect leap-second announcements, so I wrote a simple 
program to automate the steps I had been requested to follow:  You can 
download the program here.

Fortunately, my NTP is now working on a "majority decision" basis, so the 
odd bad server should not be a problem (and where have I heard that 
before!).

Cheers,
David
