Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-105
Severity: normal

man cron says:
        A higher loglevel (2) will
    cause cron to log also the end of all cronjobs,  which  can  be
    useful  to  audit  the  behaviour of tasks run by cron.

in fact, the logged pid on startup ist higher than the pid of the 
terminated cron job. Mostly it's off by one but on a rather loaded 
system the difference might be more than that.
Unfortunately this is exactly when you would really need this feature
to work precisely so one could reliably correlate the start- and stop-times
of every job.
