Regardless of what the man page says in practice bash treats everything
after a # as a comment. Most of my crontab entries on various hosts
have comments appended and they all work, for example this one from host3:
45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd --service
pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service zz-disk_space --mailto
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx #Daily Logwatch report on server access services.
In any case, removing the comment from the crontab entry on the host in
question does not change the behaviour. The logwatch report is still
mailed to root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
