I’ve been bitten by this problem several times already. I suspect the
patch at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-mcron/2020-02/msg00004.html>
helps with zombies that mcron tends to leave behind, but I’m not sure it
helps with this “stops running jobs” problem (I’d need to grab a C stack
trace of mcron when that happens.)
Anyway, let’s get this fixed!
Ludo’.
