older files _still_ get removed from /tmp. I've rebooted at least once.
While I can't answer to why old files might be disappearing, other than to check more than just *daily* CRON entries (hourly, weekly, specific hours of the day), I'll suggest one thing: If you want to keep /tmp contents through a reboot, make sure that /tmp isn't mounted as tmpfs.
