What do you mean by that? you can not reproduce it in a separate environment, 
or when manually running the cronjob, or what?

Could you please provide any or both scripts? if you can't: do they use 
time/date functions? what version of the libmysqlclient15off package do you 
have? 

Could you please install php5-dbg and run the script under gdb.
