dmesg -a lines' explanation? NEWBIE

[David Armour]

hello

i've looked in the handbook, searched the archives, but can't find out what 
the following lines in my dmesg might mean. 

<snippage>

Starting cron.
chmod: 
#permissions: No such file or directory

chmod: 
are: No such file or directory

chmod: 
set: No such file or directory

chmod: 
properly: No such file or directory

chmod: 
at: No such file or directory

chmod: 
boot: No such file or directory

Local package initialization:
 pgsql
..
Additional TCP options:

<snip>

...permissions ...are...set...properly...at...boot? an 'ls /var/cron/tabs' as 
root does not show anything other than:

total 1
drwx------  2 root  wheel  512 Sep 25  2004 .
drwxr-x---  3 root  wheel  512 Sep 30 14:45 ..

any help greatly appreciated.
