This one is allowed to be funnier than the Rockwell Collins GPS

PH12911: CEELOCT FAILS TO RETURN A VALID TIME WHEN CVTLSO IS NEGATIVE.
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PH12911
In short: Strange time values are returned if an IBM system is
configured with a negative number of leap seconds.
Fix:
Customer: Doctor it hurts when I do this.
IBM: Then don't do that.
