Yep, I agree it's basically harmless and I have been ignoring it. But that 
does not make it less annoying as, because of the call trace, it will 
continue to show up in logcheck mails every time.

If no other solution is found soon, would a patch to just skip the sysctl 
table check for this particular case be acceptable?
