The crontab entry that I had should have fired, but it didn't.  At 20:58 on
day 4 (Thu), the entry should have fired.

Doing a ps -eaf shows that the UID of cron is 0, not SYSTEM.  Is that an issue
with 1.7?  If so, how do I fix it?  If not, what can I do to find out why
cron failed to run my crontab entry?

OS is XP SP3
