The debug option is a "debug" feature. For switch on this, must change
source crond.c:

-#undef FEATURE_DEBUG_OPT
+#define FEATURE_DEBUG_OPT

Heh. Crond do not check and use arguments, your usage equivalent as
crond -L /var/log/cron.log

But, I have not idea, why your a crond usages not works.
Can you try with for example "> /dev/tty5 2>&1" for see result on tty5?
