Was there an issue with the patch I submitted via http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/174213 (basically solving the same problem, but only with the sysfs <-> sysctl(9) handler)? I was of the impression that sysfs on Linux always added on trailing newlines (but I could be wrong because I haven't used Linux at a dev level for ages). Thanks!
