How does cron behave when the time is changed by a human or by a
demon?  Does it do something clever (?) like remember the last time it
awoke and step through each intervening minute?  What if the time is set
back?

I'm asking about any and all crons, BSD or System V (I realize that the
Sys V cron is bigger than the BSD one).
