I'm seeing similar problems with anacron:

May  9 09:19:58 nightshade crond[1862]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)
May  9 09:20:01 nightshade anacron[1919]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2006-05-09
May  9 09:20:02 nightshade anacron[1919]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 65 min.
May  9 09:20:02 nightshade anacron[1919]: Jobs will be executed sequentially
May  9 10:01:01 nightshade crond[2533]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
May  9 10:25:01 nightshade anacron[1919]: Job `cron.daily' started
May  9 11:01:01 nightshade crond[2937]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
May  9 12:01:01 nightshade crond[3078]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
May  9 12:13:48 nightshade anacron[3247]: Cannot run - another anacron process i
s already running.: Resource deadlock avoided
May  9 12:14:02 nightshade anacron[1919]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (mailing o
utput)
May  9 12:14:02 nightshade anacron[1919]: Normal exit (1 jobs run)

After reviewing older logs, it looks like this started after anacron update
to version 2.3-38.
