rss2email - keeps cron instances open on timeout



Hi List, Hi Port Maintainer,
there is probably something wrong with rss2email-2.71. Or with cron. 
My cron daemon invokes rss2email - and sometimes it runs into a
disabled rss feed. I get an error report via email:

Subject: Cron <herbs@manul> /usr/pkg/bin/r2e run
W: feed [7] "http://www.netbsd.org/changes/rss-netbsd.xml"; timed out
W: feed [8] "http://www.netbsd.org/changes/rss-netbsd-pkgs.xml"; timed out

Thats normal, some rss-feeds occasionally fail.

Now the the problem. Each time it keeps cron open. Such list gets
longer on each unsucessful r2e invocation. Like this:

manul# top -b|grep cron
18465 root      85    0  2900K 1100K piperd     0:00  0.00%  0.00% cron
13391 root      85    0  2900K 1100K piperd     0:00  0.00%  0.00% cron

  675 root      85    0  2900K  980K nanoslp    0:00  0.00%  0.00% cron

Is there anything I can do about it? Probably rss2email doesnt exit in a
correct way. 
Thanks!
