Neither am I but I after seeing strange cron-jobs being run in the
future according to the log,I upgraded to 2.4.19pre3 and all was ok
again.

I tried running this small script under 2.4.18 and noticed very strange
outputs..
// --- start ---
#!/bin/tcsh
while (1)
date
end
// --- end ---
./timescript > output
output gives me this;

Which clearly shows that something is very very strange.
I've no idea where or why this happens but since upgrading to 2.4.19pre3
helped I assume that there is something in the kernel that is wrong.
I run SuSE7.2 with a vanilla 2.4.18 (now 2.4.19pre3).
