[ details of standard-issue 2.3.1 cron bug deleted ]
|Rebooting either has no effect, or apparently will re-engage cron,
|which stops cronning shortly (24 hours or so) thereafter.

|Is there a SCO patch for this?  Does anyone else care to share strange
|cron tales?  Any pointers, at all, will be appreciated.

SCO CRON Fix# xnx080

No troubles at all since I installed it.

|BTW, might this have anything to do with daylight savings time changes?

I doubt it.
