In UNIX, anything and everything in /tmp is fair game to be wiped out 
at system startup. Maybe Apple is doing something different because I 
have a "Cleanup At Startup" folder as well. Weird! But nonetheless- 
don't use /tmp for anything that's supposed to persist beyond your app 
running.

ls -F /tmp/501/
Cleanup At Startup/
Temporary Items/
