cron (3.0pl1-127+deb8u2) jessie-security; urgency=medium
* As a reasonable protective measure, crontabs are now limited to 1000 lines
in length per crontab.
The maintainers find it very unlikely that longer crontabs exist; however,
if you do have a use case, please file a bug report with a brief rationale,
and we will consider raising this limit.
