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 Around that time I used setup to update all out of date programs, 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.
