Strange cron errors

Hello everyone,

I've been getting some strange errors reported to me from cron via email, and i can't figure out whats wrong...

This is one of them:

Code:

To:  	root@***
Subject:  	Cron <root@***> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report 

/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
gzip: standard input: Bad file descriptor
error: failed to compress log /var/log/mysql.log.1
gzip: standard input: Bad file descriptor
error: failed to compress log /var/log/mysql.err.1
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

Does anyone have an idea on what might be the cause of these errors?
I would really appreciate any feedback i might get

Cheers

I'd have a look at my logrotate config files and check why it's
trying to compress stdin ... :}

Cheers,
Tink
