Why would this be a bug?  It makes a lot of sense to me.  It'd also be
nice if batch jobs could run *immediately* like they do on other OSes I
use.  Waiting for cron to run an atrun is too long for an ``at now,'' IMO.
cron and at are similar enough tasks that you don't really need two
different things doing them.
