vixie-cron/logrotate problem

["Owen Gray" <ovgray home com>]

The latest vixie-cron rpm for Redhat 5.2 (vixie-cron-3.0.1-36.5.2)
installs a file called /etc/logrotate.d/cron which reads as follows:

/var/log/cron {
    missingok
    notifempty
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `/bin/cat /var/run/crond.pid`
    endscript
}

Now, on the daily cron run of logrotate (ver logrotate-2.6-3) I get the
following error message:

	error: cron:2 unknown option 'missingok' -- ignoring line

Does vixie-cron-3.0.1-36.5.2 need/expect a more recent version of
logrotate than the one provided with Redhat 5.2?

Can I safely remove the "missingok" line from /etc/logrotate.d/cron, so
that I do not keep getting this error message?
