cron, SunOS 4.0, and Daylight Savings Time

All the cron entries my 4.0 Suns had between (not sure) either 2:00 AM or
2:01 AM and 2:59 AM or 3:00 AM failed to function from April 2, the
"spring forward" night, until the next time I did a "crontab -e."

So there must be a bug in cron, and system administrator's should be aware
that some processes might not be running.
