Tried that. Same outcome. anacron -s hangs. Same situation when I look
at it under strace. Two getpid calls, after that anacron stops. Doesn't
spawn processes, doesn't do anything usefull. Just sit's there and
stares at the wall (methaphorical speaking ;-) )

Any hint where to look in the source and put debugging output in? I
don't have much time currently to do extensive debugging, but I am
willing to lend a hand if you can give me hint's where to start. At
least it _is_ reproduceable on my machine.
