On an Indigo running IRIX, we're seeing mail from a root crontab
reporting an error with Tbin.  I can`t find a Tbin or anything about 
Tbin anywhere, let alone what to do about it.  

It has a time pattern, but I see no source for it ... I do have
a notion to blame timed.  Anyway, your help is appreciated.
Here's how it looks:
