event logging -- cron


I'm trying to understand/remove an informational event I see in the
application event log on WinXP.  It's below.  The previous log entry is from
sSMTP and indicates that the mail was sent.  And, it really was sent.  I
receive it just fine.

My questions are:

- How can I get the "The description...cannot be found" part of the message
to disappear?  Am I missing a DLL or do I have a busted path?  sSMTP, cron,
and init all do this, as do some non-cygwin apps.  Some apps don't have this
'problem' though.  I've looked at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechn
ol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/server/sag_EVtroubleshooting.asp

but this doesn't seem particularly relevant.

- Anyone know why cron is logging this?  I've built it from source and am
ready to start diving in, but I wanted to fix the first problem first.
cron_pclose() is the culprit, but I'm not sure why.

Output of cygcheck -s -v -r attached.  cron is version 3.0.1-7.

Thanks much.
