Synopsis: strange sysctl output

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: gavin

State-Changed-Why: 

This is not actually a bug.  By grepping the output of sysctl -a
you are also seeing fragments of the sysctl kern.msgbuf, which
contain the Kernel Message Buffer.  This includes the lines printed
when the sysctl is initially set during boot.
