Steve,

If anacron sending out e-mail under such circumstances is a desired
behavior, could you at least make the message more intelligible, with a
mention of the likelihood that a previously-started cron job has hung?

Even nicer would be some shell magic that greps the process table for
children of the existing anacron process, so that the message can
actually name what specific job is at fault---and users can file bugs
against the appropriate package(s) instead of coming here.
