      Description

      cron_run() just checks for $CFG->notifyloginfailures empty, but it is set to '$@NONE@$', so notify_login_failures() is triggered every time, even when no notifications are sent.

      If you look in notify_login_failures(), in this case (it is called, but there are no recipients) all the work is done (which on our system is very very non-trivial), but absolutely no updates/changes/anything are done
