I did an upgrade from 6.1 to 7.0, and then applied updates to get to the
level vixie-cron-3.0.1-61.  Root has a crontab that runs jobs every
minute.  Now it looks like I have jobs running multiple times a minute
(even the messages file records this).  Since these programs update several
files, this causes some confusion.  It looks like I have both vixie-cron
and anacron installed, but I only see one "crond" when I do a "ps".



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install new cron.
2. Edit crontab file to have entries that run every minute.
3. View the messages file.
4. Cry.
