 First of all, I should not write messages after 12 hours working day
in the end of the week. Of course, I have 10-STABLE on this server.
So, mailing list is not appropriate, sorry. But problem is true one.

But in logs command is mentioned twice sometimes (note 03:03)!

 And with "cut | uniq -c" magic I found second command with same
problem: /usr/libexec/atrun

 Again, about every second day it is executed twice at same time.

 Logs show, that it is NOT happen with every "save-entropy" or "atrun"
execution, only as often as I get these "save-entropy" complains.
