--- Comment #3 from Bob Bishop <rb@gid.co.uk> ---
This bug refers to /etc/crontab. crontab(5) says "HOME [is] set from the
/etc/passwd line of the crontab's owner", true for user crontabs but appare=
ntly
not for /etc/crontab.

This looks like a documentation problem. crontab(5) doesn't really describe
/etc/crontab, cron(8) notwithstanding.
