The only time I've seen this is when I'm manually (or via some means other
than e-smith's cron task) launching either /etc/startmail or /etc/fetchmail.
If I've done this and the cron task happens to fire off before the manual
task is complete, I'll get such a message. I will also see the message in
the foreground if I lauch startmail/fetchmail and the cron task is already
running.
If you are not running startmail/fetchmail manually or through some other
method, then you must have a fetchmail process that is hung up somehow. I
have seen fetchmail hang about for a while, but never so long as to
interfere with the next cron cycle. All things are possible, though.
