Oh, as an aside to this - I had Netflix paused while I waited for the
leap second. The video was fullscreen. At the moment of 00:00:00, the
video left fullscreen mode and everything was black. I don't know if
this was caused by the leap second, or simply some glitch at the top
of the hour, or perhaps at midnight UTC. I'll have to experiment to
see if I can reproduce it.
