This bug makes RKhunter mostly unusable without altering the crontab
entry to not report this.

Here's why: getting a report from rkhunter needs to be a serious event,
one where people take notice and fix a root kit, a possible intrusion
into the system.  If rkhunter is giving false positives, then it's
really difficult to know when it's serious (the machine has been rooted)
or when it's not (some hidden normal dir in /dev/)

How has this been unresolved since 2008?
