Yeah - I don't know why Fedora/RH doesn't create necessary directories
at the very beginning if they don't exist. /var/lock and /var/run are
two cases where they should create needed subdirectories - some people
run those on tmpfs, which means their contents are always deleted
completely on reboot.
