I looked at /etc/rc.d/sysctl and I realize it's not exactly clear what I
meant since it's meant to run more than once... :P

What caused my confusion is that the sysctl's were being set twice, and one
of them even to the wrong value, which I just realized.

Anyway, my problematic sysctl.conf had the following lines:
kern.sync_on_panic="0"
debug.debugger_on_panic="1"

Without the citation marks around the values it works as expected.
