Still with 0.11.7 until 0.11.8 reaches the mirrors and noticed a long list of, 
e.g.:

rm: cannot remove '/lib/rc/init.d/softscripts/consolefont': Read-only file 
system

with the init.d services.  These messages show up straight after:

* /run/lock: creating directory
* /run/lock: correcting owner

I have not noticed anything wrong as a result of these messages with my system 
on 2 boxen so far, i.e. services have started and are running normally.
