So why where people reporting issues with MySQL?

I find the whole thing a bit puzzling. I've know about leap seconds for 
years. They aren't new or even that rare as they seem to occur on a regular 
basis. I've heard quite a few of them when listening to WWV on shortwave. 
Why did this recent one cause so many headaches.

The article reports that Firefox and Thunderbird were also affect but I 
didn't notice any issues with either program and I have both of them running 
when my computer is on.
