Hi folks,

Sorry about the breakage. There appears to be some special case for 
read-only MIB SYSCTL strings which was ending up in an error code that's 
not so well documented. Sorry that it is not possible for me to test 
absolutely everything.

Testing done from my side:

- Several universe builds
- Sysctl functionality has been verified and tested.

I'm going to pull in the change again with the fix for "uname". If there 
are more problems popping up I need your help to test this patch.

Thanks for your patience!
