Description 0xFF 2008-11-17 10:50:51 UTC

vixie cron crashes with segfault when using email addresses in crontab file with "_" (underscore). 
If I add "MAILTO=name_user@mydomain.com"  section to crontab job, cron will crash with UNSAFE(name_user@mydomain.com) mesage in log. Crontab job won't be finished.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke crontab editor crontab -e
2. Add MAILTO=john_travolta@mydomain.com section to crontab
3. Save job
4. Wait forever for crontab job ;)
