it happens with me when I do: sysctl sysctl, I figured out that my sysctl.conf args needed to be updated accordingly to the rc.sysctl version.
I beleive there's a command being executed at startup somewhere, try this:
tail ur /var/log/messages and execute a "sysctl sysctl" and tell me if u dont see the "weird messages" again.
