After DST change the vixie-cron removed /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly AFTER executing scripts from /etc/cron.monthly/ Normal behaviour is to remove the file and THEN execute scripts from /etc/cron.monthly The result is that scripts from /etc/cron.monthly/ are executed twice, after negative DST change.
