Summary: another probably unrelated bug in cron

I have seen cron produce mysterious core dumps also. Our
version on an NCR Tower always core dumps when the crontab
command is used. A feature of the Unix version is that
null pointers are bus-errors. As we have no source on hand
I have been unable to track it down, and we just don't use
the crontab command...
