I understand what you and others are seeing but it is just not possible that
the leap year problem could affect the fix time by itself.
If the incorrect fix time is used to update the system clock (via NTP or some
other method), then it is possible that something weird could happen with the
fix time, but I assume that this is not the case here.

Yes there is a function but currently it is not used by gpsdriver.
