[LEAPSECS] Leap year day-count bugs, then and now

[Daniel R. Tobias]

Here's an article about a leap-year bug fairly similar to the one in 
current Zume music players which immobilized Wang computers in 1984:

Computers-WorldWide.aspx

Also, the comments section of that article includes the actual code 
behind the Zume bug, which involves the system getting put in an 
infinite loop on reaching a day number of 366, even though the code 
did in fact attempt to be cognizant of leap years.
