Hi,
  Are you saying the setting (you don't specify what setting) is no longer
being set by procps or that the kernel no longer seems to behave correctly?
I'm trying to understand why this is a procps bug.
If you run the command (assuming this is what you are setting)
  cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
does the value you set appear there?
