Using find -type f doesn't solve the problem. I can even reproduce it
on my laptop (not the server) with other directories, see for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ find /usr/local/RealPlayer/share/r* -type f|sort
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.applications
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.desktop
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/embedded_logo.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/icon.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.keys
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/logo.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.mime
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/prefs_general.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/setup_title.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay/setup_welcome.png
/usr/local/RealPlayer/share/realplay.xml
How is it that I get that sequence: . . / / . / . . / / / . ??

No, the crontab is launched by /etc/crontab and always under the same
id, ie root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tail -n2 /etc/crontab
0 4 * * * root /usr/bin/flexbackup -set all
0 5 * * * root /usr/local/bin/lista_borrados
Given this and the example above, I'd say that the problem has nothing
to do with locale
