I'm afraid its something else.  I do a lot of cron work on various amd64 
boxes and there's no differences compared to i386.

So I'm afraid you're going to need to do a bit of detective work.  You 
might also check /var/log/cron.  Also, have you tried restarting cron 
in case something got messed up in the process's internals?
