Has the side effect of changing the default directory used to
save the freeze status file from /tmp to /var/run.

This is a beneficial change for two reasons:

 1. FHS states that programs must not assume that files in /tmp will
    still exist between invocations of the program. This defeats
	the purpose of the freeze status file

 2. FHS dictates that /var/run should be cleaned on boot, this
    automatically cleans up any stale file
