I doubt you will have any serious issues, but if you do, let me know.  The 
/var and /tmp directories are the ones that are in a constant state of 
flux.  The only problems I can imagine would be the unexpected lock file 
or things you would expect after restarting an unclean shutdown.

I won't be here at home, but you can reach me at 816-694-8334 if things
get funny.  You may have to leave a message for me to call you back.
