Sigh, that's what I get for editing before I finish writing.

...but why take that chance when mkdir works perfectly fine?  Chances
are mkdir will be used at some point during the rc.d startup anyway, so
forking a process for an executable in the cache (or bringing it into
the cache so it can be used later) is a negligible performance loss,
especially when it only happens once.
