Just stumbled across
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/cron/cron.c#1128

Somehow, that looks less than safe to me; if fed a crontab where the last
character is a backslash (no newline), I wonder if that code could still be
guaranteed to be well-behaved.  (not that I've managed to make it core
yet over that)

Also, for those interested in raising the maximum login name size,
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/cron/cron.h#92

seems to suggest cron has a lower limit than the wtmpx limit of 32; don't
know if that's on the list of already known items to look at if anyone ever
decides to do the work of raising the reasonably well-supported (aside from
ugly ls output and such) limit from 8.
