My current policy is that since I could only find 5 real world linux programs that even call sys_sysctl, that if I find a broken sysctl binary interface I'm lazy and just remove it. The only networking one I know of is radvd. Added to that I just pushed an autochecking sysctl patch to Andrew that fails register_sysctl_table if the sysctl table is broken. And all of these showed up. So some fix was needed or things would have been even worse.
