Thanks, of course I'll do anything I can to help solve this problem.
Isn't it funny how I've had no similar problem in all the time this
system has been running, and it crops up when others are reporting
similar problems.
Meanwhile, I'd really like to know how to get cron working without
drowning me in hundreds of errors. I've rebooted since it started, and
the errors are still being churned out. It feels like something's been
changed permanently.
