(I purposefully redirected this to -stable.. since you don't want
 to acknowledge it is a -stable issue, staying on -hackers this time..)

The stack trace you posted seems to imply that cron is dying while
processing rico's crontab, and is dying at such a point in the code
that would indicate that rico's account has expired.  Is that the case?
If so, then the easiest thing for you to do would be to remove rico's
crontab (crontab -u rico -l > rico.cron.save && crontab -u rico -r)
until rico's account is reactivated or totally removed.

G'luck,
Peter
