Intermittent Cron Errors

Hi,
We are seeing intermittent cron errors on some of our servers. We run about
a couple of hundred jobs on these servers, and about 5% of them fail with
the error "can't switch user context"). We enabled verbose logging, and in
/var/log/cron.log see messages that say "cannot set uid for <user>". What
is odd is that the same job, with the same user will run successfully 95% of
the time. So it doesn't seem to be a permission issue or configuration
issue.
Can anyone shed some light on where we should next for this? Output from
cronbug is attached.
Thanks,
Rajiv
