I get the following regularly:

    From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>    test -x /usr/sbin/tigercron && { [ -r 
"$DEFAULT" ] && . "$DEFAULT" ;
            nice -n$NICETIGER /usr/sbin/tigercron -q ; }
    X-Cron-Env: <DEFAULT=/etc/default/tiger>
    X-Cron-Env: <NICETIGER=10>
    X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
    X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
    X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
    X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>

    /usr/bin/basename: invalid option -- v
    Try `/usr/bin/basename --help' for more information.

I think the catalystic line in my crontab is

    @hourly /usr/bin/fetchmail 2>&1 | /bin/grep -v '^fetchmail: background 
fetchmail at [[:digit:]]\+ awakened\.$'

Perhaps (untested) this can be fixed by changing

    base=`$BASENAME "$cmd"`

to

    base=`$BASENAME -- "$cmd"`
