Cron running 'Hello world' script dies with "Could not startup."

Hi guys,

I'm really stuck with this error and since my backup scripts are no
longer running automatically through cron, I really need to get this
fixed soon :)

Suddenly my backup scripts die with the error "Could not startup.". Only
through the cron, it runs fine through the console. I've tried all kinds
of tests with other PHP scripts, tried a different PC, asked my
distribution mailing list, tried Google and searching this list,
nothing...

Script:
<?php
echo "Hello\n";
?>

This is the crontab line:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /home/ifokkema/test.php

- Running the exact same command from the command line works perfectly.
- Cron output is nothing more than "Could not startup.".
- Have not changed the PHP installation or a cron related package.
- Distribution: Ubuntu Dapper, problems started July 31st. Possibly
after an upgrade, can't remember.
- Tried on different Ubuntu Dapper install, same result.
- PHP version: 4.4.2-1build1
- Yes, I've verified that I'm using the PHP-cli executable.

Thanks for any input!

Ivo
