 The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard guarantees that files in /var/tmp are

 "Temporary files preserved between system reboots"

 On openmoko /var/tmp seems to be on tmpfs so it files in it are not
 preserved between system reboots. Please consider following FHS and making
 /var/tmp reside on the root filesystem. I am using the following images on
 freerunner in case it matters:

 P.S. In case you wonder, yes, this caused dataloss since openstreetmap did
 not get my GPS tracks :-)
