Just got hold of a "safe" way to restart cron.
1.   crontab -l > foo.bar
2.   crontab foo.bar

This will get all of your entries with the list option in 1.
and then restart cron with these entries in step 2.

Hope this helps, as we had quite some problems dealing with cron
until this work around came.
