However, it does not seem to be a Java bug -- so far, it looks like
something is causing futex() to timeout, instead of telling the thread
to sleep [1], causing issues on anything that uses it (e.g., java,
chrome, mysql).

It's not clear exactly what variable (i.e., kernel versopm, distro)
causes boxes to go haywire. It may just be a race condition which some
people hit due to bad luck.

But it is certainly related to the leap second.
