in case of a bug whatever new protocol will not help
this seems more likely to be a kernel bug because
there were many apps on different machines affected

* BIND
* MySQL (hardly!)
* Apache Traffic Server
* Firefox
* Thunderbird
* who knows what else

i recently restarted ALL computers in our production envirnonment
up to any VMware ESXi Host, SAN-Storage-Controllers (Managment/Storage)
even up to my Android-Phone for security after woke up and saw tons of
alarms about high CPU usage on the whole infrastructure caused
mostly by 15 mysqld instances (and saw the same at home in VMware-Guests
and host)

yes, my first guess to the mysql-list was that i think it
has something to do with teh leap-second last night
