It was my fault after all. Maybe you'd have found it, if I had posted
the entire fcrontab command:
@mail(1),first(5) 8h ${tellit} "pacman sync"; \
{ pacman --noprogressbar -Sy && pacman --noprogressbar -Qu || :; } 2>&1
and ${tellit} is:
tellit="/root/bin/screen_backtick.sh -u root -b0"
and screen_backtick.sh calls my very own eventlogger, which is a shell
interface to mq_overview(7), the posix message queues. There are
a number of writers in my systems sending status messages to be
displayed in the screen/tmux status line. After switching to tmux,
I increased the rate at which these messages are dequeued and displayed,
so the queues filled up. There's resource limiter in eventlogger: if
too many messages are queued, the STORM pseudo-message is shown to
indicate an error. It so happens that STORM is set to "too much
happens".
I should have known better: If I am the only person with some problem,
it just might be my fault ...
