it is NOT a bug of cron

how do you imagine this in real life for a notebook
user? in the night the machine is off, so most of the
time when the machine is on AC prelink cron can not
run and start it's job somewhere in the morining
while the user works on his machine

thank god taht this script is installed per default as
prelink too and only 1 out of 1000 users has the knowledge
how to disable it

however, you said here "it is a bug in prelink" with other words

there is a huge difference between optimizing in the build-process
and things running repeatly on all users machines as long
they are not remove things by hand
