Ok I found the problem, in rev 770b1f1298:
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/diff?spec=svn770b1f129819eb108fe7de0c6c5ffebc2ef7317d&r=770b1f129819eb108fe7de0c6c5ffebc2ef7317d&format=side&path=/gluon/newcron.py
in newcron.py:
if val.find('/') > -1:
was changed to:
if '-' in val and '/' not in val:
val = '%s/1' % val
if '/' in val:
and it looks like there's something wrong with val = '-1/1', coming
from the previous:
153 if line.startswith('@reboot'):
154 line=line.replace('@reboot', '-1 * * * *')
However, I can't guess what the fix is...
Greets.
