SELinux alerts concerning tmp_t and mount_tmp_t

I have lots of SELinux alerts like this one:
SELinux denied access requested by abrtd. /var/tmp may be a mislabeled. /var/tmp
default SELinux type is tmp_t, but its current type is mount_tmp_t. Changing
this file back to the default type, may fix your problem.
Daniel J Walsh solve the trouble for me using this command:
chcon -R -t tmp_t /var/tmp
but every time I started my computer the trouble is back:
I remember having add these lines to /etc/fstab:
#### RAM Drives ####
tmp /tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777,fscontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 0 0
vartmp /var/tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777,fscontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 0 0
Is this the reason for the SELinux messages? What am I doing wrong?
