This problem can be easily corrected, at least on Red Hat Linux systems,
were every user have it's own group. vixie cron will install the crontab
file with ownership root.usergroup.
Installing group quotas for the partiotion /var/spool/cron resides on will
solve the problem.
I don't know about other linux systems, but at least on Red Hat the
user-hroup scheme is proving to be useful in this case :-)
