Yes, we have seen precisely this bug. We had no idea what was causing
our fileserver (sun 3/something SunOS4.03) to lock everybody out 
now and then. After reading this post, I checked roots mbox, and sure
enough, there were the "can't stat" mail messages from cron. Thanks
for the info - I don't think we would have ever put 2 + 2 together to
get this little tidbit.
