I have read several messages about this problem in the last days, so
that just after making the world (2.2.8-RELEASE) I checked the sysctl
symlink:

root@tiburon[~]# uname -r
2.2.8-RELEASE
root@tiburon[~]# ls -l /usr/sbin/sysctl
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  bin  12  3 dic 02:59 /usr/sbin/sysctl -> /sbin/sysctl

It seems that this problem does not affect to all 2.2.8-RELEASE
systems...
