Please put your response _below_ the quoted material, so it's in logical
order of question and response. In German: http://quoting.is-easy.de/

Double check that you don't have HOME=3D/ in crontab or a corrupt user
database, and if you don't find any faults in these two places, file a
bug report against Gentoo's cron package.

It works properly in SuSE's cron package.
