For a reason I have already forgotten I never sent this patch forward...

Patched code ignores whitespace characters more effectively when
reading crontab. Leading whitespace does not start a comment line
anymore.

original:
$ size miscutils/crond.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   3949       8       8    3965     f7d miscutils/crond.o

patched:
$ size miscutils/crond.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   3917       8       8    3933     f5d miscutils/crond.o
