Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vim

vim's syntax highlighting for crontabs breaks if a day or month name is
specified with a capital letter, e.g:

* *  *  *  Mon-Fri  mycommand

However, cron seems to treat these values as case-insensitive. The
attached patch fixes this by adding "syntax case ignore" before the
syntax.

Conversely, the @foo special time specifiers (e.g. "@reboot", "@hourly")
ARE case-sensitive. The patch also defines the syntax so that the
incorrect case is displayed as an error, with the correct case displayed
as before.
