I read it again, but I am not sure I understand it. The hack proposed 
by BB him/herself

rm -R -f /var/cron/tabs.sav
cp -R /var/cron/tabs /var/cron/tabs.sav
rm -R -f /var/cron/tabs
mv /var/cron/tabs.sav /var/cron/tabs

doesn't work here. Cron still skips tasks. I also tried touch'ing the   
tab file, but it didn't work either. Elusive.
