	Has anybody had any problem with the recent release of
AmigaUUCP's DCRON?   I have my 2500 poll two different sites at
different times through the day, and they almost always get polled
1 hour and 1 minute after the time set in my 's:crontab' file.
  	Other functions of my crontab like log file clean up etc.
either don't get done at all or are done late.  Once in a while it
will do the function at the correct time and other times it does them
both at the correct time AND 1 hour,1 minute late, in other words twice 
for the same cron entry.
	I've tried several different ways of setting up the crontab,
I've also tried it on the 68k side of the system in case it was an
'020 problem.
	Other than this inconvenient little problem, I find the
AmigaUUCP 0.50 package absolutely FANTASTIC.  (yes I realize the DCRON 
program is separate from the actual AmigaUUCP, just included on the disk)
