"cron" appearing on Board Index

[pennycsf]

From time to time the word "cron" appears at the bottom of the Board Index.

The generated HTML has the following code inserted:-
<div>
<a id="bottom" name="bottom" accesskey="z"></a>
<img src="./cron.php?cron_type=tidy_cache&sid=9fc0561902d5e26a7701e30fdfa0beae" width="1" height="1" alt="cron" />
</div>


and since the image source is missing the alt is displayed.

This doesn't cause me any trouble, but may indicate some more important problem.


I didn't want to create a bug report as the issue is so trivial.

It should be there, the cron is run when a page is loaded (the code for it is at the bottom of overall_footer.html) in this case the cron job is tidying the cache. If it shows occasionally it could be your board is sometimes slow to load.
