cron not using new entry after crontab -e?

["Keith G. Murphy" <keithmur@mindspring.com>]

I just updated my cron to the one from frozen: 3.0pl1-55

I've noticed that when I do a crontab -e, even though cron says in the
logs that it sees the update, it doesn't run the new entry I put in
there.

When I take cron down, put in the entry, then bring it up, it sees it
fine.

I notice the new cron also installed a package called lockfile-progs,
which makes me suspicious.

Has anyone seen this, or should I file a bug report?  I see a quite
similar bug reported 75 days ago, but no followup on the part of the
original filer to the developers' questions.
