Yet Another Way To Cheat Quotas

Background: Crond keeps the users crontabs under /var/spool/cron/crontabs.
They are owned by root. Dont ask me way but I recall it has something to 
do with some security issue. Anyway...

crontab bighuge.tgz
rm bighuge.tgz


to recover:

crontab -l > bighuge.tgz

the crond man page sees it will onlie accept files with lines not longer 
then 1024 and no more then 256 lines. This gives you around  256K.
