In general, "cron != vixie-cron".  It turns out that most of the Unix world
pre-dates Linux and for various reasons (not the least of which are legal
issues, branding, and in-product compatibility) it is generally *extremely*
poor form to assume Linux-isms.  Clearly, the cron provider should be
updated to reflect this reality.  Perhaps filing a bug report is in order?
