System: NetBSD kaeru 2.99.14 NetBSD 2.99.14 (build.kaeru) #164: Mon Jan 31 14:11:47 JST 2005 takashi@kaeru:/usr/home/takashi/work/kernel/build.kaeru i386

Machine: i386
>Description:
	cached tree doesn't seem to reflect dynamically created nodes.
	it's inconvenient when using /etc/sysctl.conf.
	eg.
		% sudo sysctl -w vm //create=test test > /dev/null
		sysctl: top level name 'test' in 'test' is invalid
		% sysctl test
		test: no children
>How-To-Repeat:
	see above.
>Fix:
