> ^C#?1|oi-2024:steffen$ crontab -
> crontab: can't open your crontab file.

It is trying to open a file named '-', same as on Solaris 11.4:

$ crontab -
crontab: can't open your crontab file.
$ touch ./-
$ crontab -
$ echo $?
0

This is allowed by Guideline 13, which crontab is already required to
conform to.

The portable way to use stdin is to omit the file operand.
