Did you by any chance happend to run the weekly/320.makewhatis periodic
script that night? It is enabled by default. However, you shouldn't
need it if you maintain your system entirely through freebsd-update.

freebsd-update is a shell script, so it's fairly easy to see the
difference between 'fetch' and 'cron' -- look for the functions
'cmd_fetch()' and 'cmd_cron()' in the code (they're right
next to each
other.)
The differences are:
'fetch' tests that is is connected to a tty and complains about not
being run interactively if not
'cron' sleeps for a random number of seconds up to 1 hour, and it
logs everything it does to a temporary file in order to mail
back a report to the user if needed.
Otherwise, they both call exactly the same 'fetch_check_params()' and
'fetch_run()' functions.
Cheers,
Matthew
