Description:

I'm am running dcron-4.5 on a gentoo, 32 bit system.

There are errors in the logic processing days of the week to run a job and days of the month to run a job when used in combination.

The simplest example of the problem I was able to derive is as follows:

On thursday, Feb. 23, a crontab of:

* * * * Thu date >>
/tmp/date_log

will run the job every minute.

A crontab of

* * 23 * * date >>
/tmp/date_log

will run the job every minute.

But the following crontab will never run the job:

* * 23 * Thu date >>
/tmp/date_log
This task depends upon
