I will try this hack Eric, but I suppose this opens another question -
why /var/run is held on a non-TMPFS? I would think (and this is not
based on any authority) that since /var/run is mainly for tracking
state, that after a reboot of any kind it should remain blank.

I have tested deleting /var/run/ifstate and pulling the plug, and it
returns on next reboot. I think this might be the EXT4 recovery
kicking in and putting the file back?
