OK, I've trawled the site and found and applied a whole lot of different possible fixes, but I'm still having problems.
Basically, cron fails at a specific point when search is indexing my site.
I may be heading down a dead end, but I'm becoming convinced it's an environment issue. The reason being is that I have a dev and a live version that run near identical code and data, but on different machines. One's a local linux box and the other is ISP hosted (the live site that fails).
So my question is, does anyone have any clue to what environment differences may be causing my problem? I'd really appreciate any help as I'm new to Drupal and can see great potential for my site.
Details are:
Dev
MySQL 4.0.20
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.50 (Mandrakelinux/7.2.101mdk) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.5 mod_ssl/2.0.50 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/4.3.8
Live
MySQL 4.0.20
Apache/2.0.46 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_09 Perl/v5.8.0 mod_ssl/2.0.46 OpenSSL/0.9.7a DAV/2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 PHP/4.3.3 mod_gzip/2.0.26.1a

I had the same problem
You've probably fixed it now, but for anyone else discovering this thread who has this problem, take a look at #361171: How to debug cron stoppage problems with bad PHP content
