Got a problem where all cores are at 100% system usage, that seems to be related to the running of a java program.

However, since we know for a fact that no leap seconds have been introduced we wonder if the same bug can be triggered by something else ? Or if there are related/similar bugs that give same behaviour for other conditions?

> Better: date -s “`date`”

Even better is simply
date -s now
, which causes a single “date” process to set the time to the current time, rather than spawning a second “date” process to look up the current time first…

(This assumes a GNU coreutils “date”, but hopefully that a safe assumption given that affected systems are by definition running Linux….)
