Actually, I had something that wouldn't start and said it needed /run. 
I didn't have one, found references with google that it was the new and
upcoming thing, so I created it myself.  So, it must have been a bug
that should have been reported but I didn't realize that.  By creating
it myself, I created a bit of a problem.  Now what to do about it. 

I don't see any news item or anything on it.  I generally look at elogs
but we know how that works.  lol   I guess I missed that one.
