Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Check /etc/syslog.conf
You can adjust cron logging there. Adding

cron.debug /var/log/cron

will send cron's own debug output to /var/log/cron. Don't forget to recycle the syslog daemon after changing the configuration.
New Good point.
Egads...

debug level wooo

Drew make sure you have your log rotation proper.
New That would do it
Only entries in there for cron right now are
#cron.*       /var/log/cron.log

and
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\

auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages

So I'm not getting much info.

Assuming this can throw a huge amount of crap to disk in a hurry, what do I need to do to make sure I don't eat the disk before I can catch it?

New set it for a single pass first, then debug
once you find the issue, then adjust the schedule.

                                                 set it for a single pass first, then debug - (boxley)
         Figured out the problem ... but not the solution (yet) - (drook) - (2)
             *NOW* I've figured out the problem ... I am a dumbass - (drook) - (1)

I'm paraphrasing, because it's easier than research.
