oops, my bad.

So, if I understood you correctly, with 10.04.2:
* script runs correctly, produces output but you only receive an error
* script runs correctly, produces *no* output, but you still receive
an error
if the above it true, could you disable mailing, redirect the output of
your cron job to local files and see what difference this makes? eg:
MAILTO=""
0 12 * * * /path/to/script >/tmp/script.out 2>/tmp/script.err
This will bypass all the mailer code. If the error disappears, we'll
know it's the mailer's fault, otherwise it must be cron.
