Errr... I'm not sure why folks might have that misguided expectation;
from hier(7):
/tmp/ temporary files that are not guaranteed to persist across sys-
tem reboots
Foplks are welcome to do whatever they wish with their own machines,
but the FreeBSD default is as above.
And I was using swap-backed /tmp on SunOS back around 1988.... :-}
