Suddenly, I've been getting messages like the following:

From root Tue Nov 17 20:35 EST 1992
>From root Tue Nov 17 20:35:12 1992

*************************************************
Cron: The previous message is the standard output
      and standard error of one of your cron commands.


At the time, cron has just finished running a Cnews command. I grepped
through the source code and it looks like the only place that "basename"
is called is in "spacefor." So I commented out that section, but to no
avail.

Nothing has changed in my system that I know of, except that my feed has
cut back on the groups he's been sending.

Any ideas??
