idl -quiet command-line option doesn't work in cron [message #67435]

I created a save file 'routine.sav', and am running it in cron, like
this:

idl -quiet -queue -rt=routine.sav > log.txt

So, in Linux terms, STDOUT is sent to log.txt, and STDERR goes into an
email to me from the system. I like this, because I have a quick place
to check if anything went wrong.

The reason for -quiet is to suppress the startup message, which goes
to STDERR when you start IDL:

IDL Version 7.0.6 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2008, ITT Visual Information
Solutions Installation number:.

This works from the command line, but when I put it into cron, I still
get the message, sent to me in an email from cron.

Any ideas?
