    start: Job is already running: anacron

And it's caused by cron running /etc/cron.d/anacron.

    # /etc/cron.d/anacron: crontab entries for the anacron package

    SHELL=/bin/sh
    PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

    #30 7    * * *   root   test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && 
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null
    30 7    * * *   root    start -q anacron || :

Could it be that in the past `start -q' did not generate output with -q
if anacron was already running?

Also, has anyone else with this problem increased the delay in
/etc/anacrontab so things don't run so soon after boot-up?  The delays
are normally 5, 10, and 15, but mine are now

    # /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron

    # See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.

    SHELL=/bin/sh
    PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

    # These replace cron's entries
    1       125     cron.daily       nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
    7       130     cron.weekly      nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly
    @monthly        135     cron.monthly nice run-parts --report 
/etc/cron.monthly
