Public bug reported:

I'm using Linux Mint 18 Sarah, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which
uses the Ubuntu cron package version 3.0pl1-128ubuntu2.

Expectation:
-----------

11 23 * * 1-5 command

To run command from monday to friday on 11 past 23.

Observation:
-----------

Doesn't run.

* 23 * * 1-5 command # WORKS - every minute at 23 o' clock
11 * * * 1-5 command # WORKS - 11 past every hour
11 23 * * 1-5 command # Does NOT work

Work around:
-----------

Only schedule jobs in the second half hour (e.g. 44 minutes past) is
possible using this hack:

*/44 23 * * 1-5 # WORKS

** Affects: cron (Ubuntu)
