I'm sort of curious about how a bug of this magnitude slips through the QA process (into java and RHEL, not CentOS). With all the furor about y2k, did no one even bother to simulate a leap second ahead of the real occurrence?
The kernel bug is a race condition; simulations may not have detected it.
The java one seemed to be a pretty sure thing. Was this just openjdk or was the current Oracle version affected too?
