Comment:

 Ok, So a more sane way of saying this:

 Certain admin-related functions are not included into wordpress during
 Cron events.

 Given that Cron events are often Admin-related it makes sense that such
 functions may be needed. Post insert/update functions are defined in the
 wp-includes as they are often used outside of the admin interface.
 Category creation however rarely takes place outside of the admin.

 One solution:[[BR]]
  * Get rid of wp-admin/includes/ and merge it all back into /wp-includes/
 - which doesnt make much sense, as the files are rarely needed.
  * Include the Admin includes on cron events (Patch attached)

 I've not had a chance to test this patch, as i do not have any cron-
 related plugins available.
