This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

M-x calc
vx 200
100 -
'3650*24*3600

vm t U

(What I think I'm doing is creating a vector with 10 year increments, in
seconds, and wanted to know if you honored, or don't honor, leap
seconds.  It appears to me that the answer is no.  I'm just surprised to
see the additional shift of an hour shift at 1630 - 1640 and 2199-2209.

why?)

My question was 'and does the conversion include leap seconds'. The
answer appears to be 'no', but the 7pm/8pm conversions seem odd.

Thanks
