11505,cron stopped working with standard configuration,neoxx,westi,"Hi Guys,

After the update to wp 2.9 (from 2.8.6 where everything worked just fine) my cron-jobs stopped working. Looking inside the cron-array with crontrol [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-crontrol/] it looks like they are not executed at all. So I end up with all cron jobs waiting for execution (which seems to consume quite a bit of time on every page call). In crontrol this behavior is shown as all cron jobs have the execution status ''now''.

I found the work-around in Otto's reply in this post [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296236] which seems to work but produces dirty rewrites in the browser's address bar...

As my server configuration didn't change at all I assume that something else changed (e.g. could the statement ''Increase timeout on cron-based requests when checking for upgrades'' mentioned in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.9] be the reason?)
