Drat. Missed that -- it should say /var/tmp/portindex now. Anyhow,
using /var/tmp was just for convenience while testing. The plan
always was to use /var/db/portindex for the officially installed
version.
Besides, on very many (perhaps most) systems, /var/tmp will survive
across reboots. Which is why it's there and not in /tmp.
