A leap day computer glitch affected some systems and automatic teller machines Tuesday, but the government did not found any severe malfunctions, Chief Cabinet Secretary Mikio Aoki said.

Reflecting on some of the malfunctions, however, Aoki said the preparations for possible problems may not have been as complete in comparison with those for expected Y2K hassles on New Year's Day.

The Year 2000 problem caused no major problems in infrastructure or business on Jan. 1.
