At first I thought the el_ code was editline code but that doesn't make 
sense in cron, but then I found the General-Purpose Event List Manager.

See
https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SysVR4/cmd/cron/elm.c
and
https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=SysVR4/cmd/cron/funcs.c

Does your cron source come with this other code?

By the way, how to browse the SysVR4 code at TUHS?
