This did the trick. cron is now quietly logging to /var/log/cron.log. Thanks.

I think the console logging started some time ago, after hard drive errors on reboot caused fsck to ask if I wanted to repair stuff. I pretty much mindlessly said 'y' to all repair questions, without paying much attention. I'm guessing that /sbin/syslogd was somehow deleted at that time.
