crontab: can't obtain passwd entry

If I am not mistaken this is where it is failing:
478  184138 [main] crontab 1104 symlink_info::check: GetFileAttributesA
(C:\cygwin\var\log\wtmp) failed

Now when I checked there was not /var/log/wtmp.  Actually there was not /var/log.  I
created the log directory and even touched the file but it still fails.  Though it gets
past this in the trace.

I am including the new trace for this too...  Though I do not see where it is failing
now...

The only thing I am seeing that is weird is the following line:
 366  232834 [main] crontab 988 fhandler_tty_slave::write: waited 1000 ms for
output_done_event, WFSO 0

What does that mean???
