This is not likely to be a problem in itself... I am getting these too and
the system is working fine as far as I can tell.  Note that every command
cron executes is logged here.

I haven't seen this before (maybe the other reply in this thread is useful
:)  But if you're not getting it anymore, that probably means the problem
has been solved...

good luck
