$HOME not set in cron jobs

Dear All,
Since upgrading to Cygwin 1.3.4-4, my cron jobs have stopped working in that
commands executed in a cron job to not expand $HOME or ~ correctly. A command
of 'echo $HOME' in a cron job produces one line of '/', where as it used to
produce '/home/zzalsaca'.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem and if so suggest a solution?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Tony.
