You are, it seems, correct. Resetting localtime to point to something NOT in the "right" subdirectory solved both problems -- both the fractional minute (which I never managed to connect with the leapsecond correction) and the overall time zone. I'm now seeing this on sent messages: Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:21:06 -0400 and I'm seeing incoming messages with "accurate" timestamps now. Thanks! Nick.
