[Xymon] Leap second bug?

[Thomas Eckert]

While I did not have issues w/ my xymon hosts I did have the leap second causing very high load (interrupt and context switches skyrocketed). Maybe your acknowledge problem relates to this.

Affected systems were older Debian running some 2.6.32 kernel.

Fix: set the time on these systems

  date -s "$(LC_ALL=C date)"
