Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 8.04.1

I am using crontab -e, which launches nano to edit a temporary crontab
file. The problem I have is that my crontab lines are quite long, and
are wrapped to the next line by nano. It seems nano then saves the auto-
generated newlines which results in an invalid crontab file.

To fix this you just need to pass in the -w parameter to nano to stop it
wrapping lines (or in my case i edited /etc/nanorc and enabled the 'set
nowrap' line)
