Rel 4; make cronie restart itself when PAM problems happen.
On glibc/pam upgrades cronie can be very unhappy:
Feb 9 13:52:01 firma /usr/sbin/crond[6592]: (root) FAILED
to authorize user with PAM (Moduł jest nieznany)
because crond is inked with old stuff and can't dlopen newer pam modules.
Exact cause (like which symbol) is not known because crond
is using PAM_SILENT flag which silences most of pam error messages.
Add hacky script to make crond self cure (this problem happened way
too many times for me).

why not implement execve(argv) in crond itself?
and so far we've added %trigger to glibc, etc to restart cron daemons
