Title:
  sysctl -p doesn't work on vm.dirty_background_bytes = 0

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev. For example set vm.dirty_background_bytes
  to 1048676, execute "sysctl -p" and then check the value with "sysctl
  -a | grep 'vm\.'". vm.dirty_background_bytes is now set to 1048676 as
  expected. But if vm.dirty_background_bytes is now set to 0, "sysctl
  -p" is executed and the value is checked with "sysctl -a | grep
  'vm\.'" it still shows 1048676 instead of 0.
