This was mentioned in the release notes of Flight 3 ... specifically
that after an unclean shutdown this file isn't empty (it's also supposed
to get cleaned on shutdown).

I've got fixed packages for it (they move the network state file
to /var/run which is a tmpfs now), which also fix all network interface
problems (not being hotplugged, etc.) but there's a slight but I'm going
to fix today before I upload.
