You should carefully examine the nature and detail of the cron job that
occurred, perhaps by prefacing it with strace.output to a file, e.g.:

1 * * * * /usr/bin/strace -o /your/output/file`date '+\%d\%H\%M'` \
/your/cron/task -args

Put it on one line; I used continuation "\" because of Usenet line wrap.
Then examine any files (particularly towards the end of the file) that
occurred at the time of a crash, although it appears the crash came
subsequent to the cron job, so maybe it won't be helpful.
