 I see a lot of posts regarding the inability to have a working cron on
 hosts who put a block on HTTP callbacks to servers that have firewalls
 blocking calls to themselves. I did post a fix for this which my hosts
 kindly provided to get around this problem - it was marked as a duplicate
 and subsequently ignored. I awaited 2.8 with the fanfare of "improved cron
 spawning" but alas this also doesnt work in my, and many others situation.
 Once again I am posting the patched files which worked perfectly for 2.7.1
 in the hope that someone with a more in depth knowledge can take a look
 and explain why this cannot be incorporated into the build? Many thanks
