Just to let everybody know, the above suggestion helped me find the real culprit: emacs. emacs was not even exiting properly at all; the /tmp/real_emacs_exit_status file never got written out. Also, the /tmp/crontab.* files were never cleaned up. It appears that emacs *kills* its parent when you exit.
So I downloaded and used the nano editor instead, and it works. It's not crontab's fault; it's a bug in emacs.
Would you try something for me please?
Run (server-start) in a running emacs then set EDITOR=emacsclient and try editing your crontab. The file to be edited should pop up in your emacs. Edit it then do C-x# when you are done. Emacsclient will exit, but not emacs. I am curious what happens to the parent process in this case...
