I can confirm this behaviour on Kubuntu 9.10 amd64 release .  I have
TMPTIME=0 in /etc/default/rcS. But df gives this after reboot:

# df -h
Dateisystem     Größe Benut  Verf  Ben%   Eingehängt auf
/dev/sda3           46G  6,5G   38G   15%     /
/dev/sda1           92G   68G   20G   78%     /tmp
/dev/sda4         543G  113G  403G   22%   /home

68G in /tmp!

In my case /tmp is mounted as seperate file system  and not pat of the
root file system. /dev/sda1 is a spare partition for testing new Ubuntu
installations or distribution upgrades. Since there is nothing to be
tested at the moment I thought why not using it as /tmp for my
production instalation.

Now, when I don't mount /dev/sda1 on /tmp, i.e. /tmp is part of the root
file systen everythink works fine and /tmp is cleaned up after reboot.

It would be interesting to hear about your stetup.

I suspect it is a bug in mountall which is actually performing the
cleaning job during bootup.
