This smells like a file system that is corrupted (I used to hack UFS
a few decades back).

Can you do a 

ls -l | od -c

because I want to see what those ?? are.

And cron is really 3246 bytes?  And 2054 for init?  Don't those seem
too small?  Linux's cron is 44472 and that's with shared libs, I'm
assuming that v6 didn't have shared libs, it's all static.
