I think this should be MFCd.  It's preventing some PPPoE diagnostic 
sockets from working where the PPPoE connection isn't shutting down 
cleanly at machine shutdown time - leaving a stray socket file in 
/var/run.

4.2-release (rc 1.212.2.8) had a ``rm /var/run/*'' which removed these 
sockets.  purgedir() was used instead in version 1.212.2.13 to 
prevent problems when people create directories under /var/run.

It's not a show stopper if it isn't merged though...  it's just 
potentially irritating.
