sa-update randomly stops

[McDonald, Dan]

I run sa-update and sa-compile from a cron job at a regular interval.
At seemingly random times, it simply fails to run.  All I get in the
cron log is:
        
        gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir 
`/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys'
        [8641] info: generic: base extraction starting. this can take a while...
        [8641] info: generic: extracting from rules of type body_0

I'm trapping errors in the bash script that calls sa-compile, but it
never tells me that there is an error.

It looks like there is a temp directory with stuff in it left over from
the attempt.

The logs have nothing useful, just the call in /var/log/cron/info
Nothing in warnings or errors
Oct 27 14:35:00 ca CROND[8627]: (root) CMD (/usr/local/sbin/sa-update-cron)


When I run it by hand, I never have encountered this problem.

What can I do to troubleshoot this more, or should I just wait to see if
it still happens when 3.3.0 is released?
