Excellent.  Not sure if this is the correct list (if not, feel free to
submit bugs or discuss them on the tiger-user/tiger-devel list at: 
	http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tiger).

This is probably from the check_root cron entry.  Upstream should have
this fixed:

These need to be fixed.  I know right where the last two are and have a
good idea on the third one.  I will look at this and get a patch
committed upstream.

Correct, these are generated via stderr instead of a tiger generate
message so they are nor processes using tiger.ignore.
