Error description
When a multibyte character appears in the command field of crontab file entry and the multibyte character encoding includes 0x5c (e.g. IBM-943 0x945c),the cron daemon misinterprets 0x5c (the 2nd byte of multibyte character) as a backslash which has special meaning per cron/crontab documentation This causes the command named in the command field be misinterpreted.
