And again, here's my leap-a-day.c test case which can be used to trigger 
a leapsecond every day, or every ~13 seconds via the -s option.

/* Leap second stress test

 *
 *  This test signals the kernel to insert a leap second
 *  every day at midnight GMT. This allows for stessing the
 *  kernel's leap-second behavior, as well as how well applications
 *  handle the leap-second discontinuity.
 *
 *  Usage: leap-a-day [-s]
 *
 *  Options:
 *	-s:	Each iteration, set the date to 10 seconds before midnight GMT.
 *		This speeds up the number of leapsecond transitions tested,
 *		but because it calls settimeofday frequently, advancing the
 *		time by 24 hours every ~16 seconds, it may cause application
 *		disruption.
 *
 *  Other notes: Disabling NTP prior to running this is advised, as the two
 *		 may conflict in thier commands to the kernel.
 *
 *  To build:
 *	$ gcc leap-a-day.c -o leap-a-day -lrt
