Hi, I cannot reproduce this. Using the same kernel and running sysctl from. My patch to 9-stable will not affect printing of integers. 9-stable and 10-stable and current "sysctl" code all gives the same result over here with 9-stable kernel: sysctl -n hw.ncpu | hd 00000000 32 0a |2.| sysctl hw.ncpu | hd 00000000 68 77 2e 6e 63 70 75 3a 20 32 0a |hw.ncpu: 2.| Can you tell me exactly what kernel version you are using, "uname -a" and which version of "sysctl" with which version of the kernel is failing, so that I can reproduce. Thank you! --HPS
