I moved into a house this weekend, and noticed a couple of days after
I turned my machine back on that I wasn't getting my daily morning
messages from cron.  When I looked into it, I found that the directory
/var/cron/tabs is empty!  Fsck didn't warn me of any file damage upon
reboot, so I don't know where my crontab files could have gone.  I'm 
a little mystified.
