Does this vary between cron packages, I wonder? After all, cron is not one thing... I'm not sure if cron is in any of the standards (maybe POSIX or LSB if anything) and even if it is, I doubt that goes as far as specifying environment handling. But I could be wrong. Anyway, there's lots of different ways to skin that particular cat... sorry, I mean skin that particular cron... and some cron software is better than others for different situations (for example, Anacron).
