 Hi Guys,

 After the update to wp 2.9 (from 2.8.6 where everything worked just fine)
 my cron-jobs stopped working. Looking inside the cron-array with crontrol
 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-crontrol/] it looks like they are
 not executed at all. So I end up with all cron jobs waiting for execution
 (which seems to consume quite a bit of time on every page call). In
 crontrol this behavior is shown as all cron jobs have the execution status
 ''now''.

 I found the work-around in Otto's reply in this post
 [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296236] which seems to work but
 produces dirty rewrites in the browser's address bar...

 As my server configuration didn't change at all I assume that something
 else changed (e.g. could the statement ''Increase timeout on cron-based
 requests when checking for upgrades'' mentioned in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.9] be the reason?)

 greetz,
 berny
