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 :-)
