FWIW, running strace from a cron job isn't necessarily going to do the
right thing.  strace introduces a barrier between information presented
by crond and (in this case) /bin/echo.  It makes /bin/echo think it's
running in a raw windows environment rather than a cygwin environment.

It might be more interesting to run strace on cron itself (if that's
even possible) and then inspect the results.
