sysctl() and NET_IPV4_FORWARD

[Hasso Tepper <hasso@estpak.ee>]

Simple test attached fails with 2.4.x (tested with 2.4.23 and 2.4.19). 
It works with 2.6 (tested with 2.6.0-test11-mm1). Writing works in 
both 2.4 and 2.6, only reading is problem in 2.4.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it bug?

regards,
