Anything's possible, but I'm using the sarge version of vixie cron on
roughly 100 systems without this problem, so I'm not quite sure that the
problem is there yet.  Is it possible that at some point you cat'ed
those files to | crontab - by mistake?  Do you see error messages in the
logs about those broken cron entries?

I'm having a hard time understanding 
a) how this could have happened
b) how this could have worked
