feed mapper

So, I don't even know where to begin.

I am importing iCal feeds (Google Calendar specifically) using FeedAPI, Calendar, iCal parser, Date, etc, etc. I had some crazy issues that are mostly resolved now. But my one hangup I cannot remedy.

Cron will not stop running. In other words, I cannot run cron because it won't stop. If I try to run it manually I get the "Cron run Failed" or something like that.

I have done everything with deleting the cron variables, emptying cache, sacrificing small animals, hung a horseshoe over my pc, all to no avail.
