I've grep'ed all of the kernel for occurances of swapout_interval,
and haven't found where the alledged multiplication should take
place...
But the fact remains that /proc/sys/vm/swapout_interval returns
a false value... If you (or anyone for that matter) could give
me a pointer, I'll try and fix the bug for you...
