Does it consistently run at the wrong time if you left it on 24x7? I thought anacron was modified so it would wait a bit after the machine was turned on to run anything that was missed while the machine was off. IIRC, this was so that the user would not have to wait 5-10 minutes after the machine was powered on before it became usable. Know that I am guessing, and could be all wet.
