This form is not standard. Anyway the problem exists with standard forms: touch -d 2008-12-31T23:59:60 foo touch -t 200812312359.60 foo > so touch do not accept leap seconds. More generally, it doesn't accept SS = 60. Even if it doesn't correspond to a leap second, POSIX requires this value to be accepted: The range for SS is [00,60] rather than [00,59] because of leap seconds. If SS is 60, and the resulting time, as affected by the TZ environment variable, does not refer to a leap second, the resulting time shall be one second after a time where SS is 59. So, when the bug is fixed, it should be made sure not to have exceptions for leap seconds (e.g. 200812170102.60 is valid too).
