Cron problem after using hibernate

I have been running cron for over a year now without any problems until
recently. Typically I leave my PC running XP on all day and then
hibernate it very late in the evening, turning it back on each morning.
Cron would run without fail executing as expected until sometime after
11/21. Around that time I used setup to update all out of date programs,
and 2 that updated were cygrunsrv and cron. After that update, cron no
longer performs anything in my crontab once the PC has been hibernated
and then turned back on. Rebooting or restrting cron by executing
"cygrunsrv -E cron" then "cygrunsrv -S cron" fixes the problem
everytime. The ps output always shows cron even when cron doesn't work.
I've tried reverting to older cron and cygrunsrv in all combinations and
none of it fixed the problem. I've looked over the problem reports and
saw nothing there either. I've run the most recent cron_check.sh and it
reports no problems.
I've attached the cygcheck output, but not my crontab since it works
correctly after the cron restarts so I doubt it's the problem.
