Strange..

The segmentation fault is preceded by this:
[pid 19008] chdir("/home/friedel") = 0
[pid 19008] --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
Can you attach to the children cron process with gdb, run it and then
show me the output of running 'bt' from gdb?
The way to do this is:
- monitor when cron launches its children (pid A)
- send kill -SIGSTOP to pid A as soon as you see it
- run 'gdb /usr/sbin/cron A'
- send 'kill -SIGCONT A' and 'run' in gdb.
- when you get the sigsegv in the cron job run 'bt'
Thanks
