If you want to follow FHS, then you need to clear out /tmp, /var/lock,
and /var/run on each reboot. :p I just use tmpfs to avoid all that.

So, add tmpfs to be closer to FHS by cleaning out what you're supposed to
clean out, or modify our init scripts to wipe those directories on boot. I
prefer the tmpfs method, myself.
