ae09cae939 Add two new options to cron(8), -J and -j. They allow to specify
the maximum amount of time jitter for root and other users, respectively.
Before starting a job, cron(8) will sleep a random number of seconds,
from 0 to the amount specified.  This can help to smooth down load spikes
when a lot of jobs are to start at the beginning of a particular minute
(e.g., the first minute of an hour.)

0d82acd1ef Mention the fact that our crontab is not fully POSIX.2 conform, because
it doesn't allow the dangerous variant of calling it without any
argument.

9cfc3cad44 Never allow a user to use crontab if opening /var/cron/{allow,deny} fails
for any reason other than ENOENT (think resource limits). Close allow and
deny files before allowed() returns to stop the user's EDITOR being able to
read them.

9ace91bc72 load_env(), the function that attempts to parse a crontab
line as an environment variable assignment, is broken
and not conformant to its description in the manual page.

I think it is worthwhile to have that fix in 4.6.

cb0776eac7 free_entry(): Don't free e->envp if it's already NULL; likewise for
e->cmd.  free_entry() now does the right thing with
partially-initialized structures.

load_entry(): Don't call env_free() on e->envp throughout the routine
before jumping to eof; the free_entry() call at that label will take
care of it.  The previous behavior resulted in e->envp being free'd
twice (well, the second time would usually result in a crash, but
that's besides the point); once in load_entry(), and once in
free_entry() after the former called the latter.  Also note that the
check added to free_entry() (above) doesn't help, since e->envp wasn't
reset to NULL after env_free().

Otherwise, "crontab -l > file; vi file; crontab file" adds an extra set

2a8a2cb55a Made the special handling of the daylight time switches optional,
enabled by the option "-s" (for dSt). This returned the default behavior
to its original form.

The new option name is not "-d" because that would cause associations with
"debug" and cron already has "-x" for debugging, so this would cause
confusion.
