>Description:
    When trying to either edit a file or build a package on a system
    where /var is an LFS v2 partition, I consistently get a
    "Inappropriate file type or format" error.
>How-To-Repeat:
    make any package -- it chokes when attempting to write
    /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.byfile.db

    edit any file -- it chokes when writing a tmp file to
    /var/tmp/vi.recover
