Description of problem:
When starting up the network service on my server or when booting up, I get this logged:

[root@tornado init.d]# /etc/init.d/network restart

[root@tornado init.d]# 

I've traced this to a problem with the output of sysctl -a.  In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global, sysctl -a is called and the output parsed.

This output includes the errors as above.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
procps-3.2.4-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
You can reproduce this error by simply viewing the output of sysctl -a on the command line

ie:

..
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.mtu = 1280
net.ipv6.conf.all.hop_limit = 64
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 0
error: unknown error 22 reading key 'net.ipv4.route.flush'
error: unknown error 22 reading key 'fs.binfmt_misc.register'
[root@tornado ~]#


Actual Results:  Errors :(

Expected Results:  The output should have been returned without error.

Additional info:

This bug has been present for a period of time, it is not a very recent regression.

[root@tornado ~]# rpm -q kernel-smp
kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.1115_FC4
[root@tornado ~]#

Also occurs when running non-Fedora kernels.
