rc.d/cron appears to ignore rcvar "cron_program" -- intentional?

Laptop is running stable/8 @r240161; the above was easy enough to
hand-edit, so I did, then:

d134(8.3-S)[3] pgrep cron ; sudo service cron restart; pgrep cron
1676
Stopping cron.
Starting cron.
3649
d134(8.3-S)[4] ps axwwl | grep -w cron
    0  3649     1   0  47  0  3396  1368 nanslp Is    ??    0:00.00 /usr/sbin/cron -s
 1001  3652  3575   0  44  0  3508  1240 piperd S+    14    0:00.00 grep -w cron
d134(8.3-S)[5] 

Looks as if it works -- at least, it certainly has the same default
behavior. :-}

Thanks!

Peace,
david
