--- Comment #1 from Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie at catflap.org> ---
I stumbled on this bug whilst searching for something loosely related.

This bug is incorrect.

The "spooldir" you reference applies to the per-user tabs in
/var/spool/cron/tabs

The part that deals with timestamps on files in /etc/cron.d /
/usr/local/etc/cron.d refers to SYSCRONTABS, and is the section before which
you quoted, starting roughly 30 lines earlier, and they are processed approx 20
lines after the bit you quoted.

Cheers!
