This patch includes the text for the two proposed sysctls. If they are rejected, then this help text will refer to two non-existent sysctls. Minor issue compared to: The pdflush sysctl patch was respun to include adding text (against the current vm.txt) for the new sysctls. So that patch will fail to apply should this patch be added first. See what I mean? So what do I do? Thx, -PWM
