This bug was fixed in the package procps - 1:3.2.8-1ubuntu4

---------------
procps (1:3.2.8-1ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/sysctl.d/10-zeropage.conf*: Reestablish a procps-controlled
    mmap_min_addr value so that when package-installed sysctl settings
    are removed, the secure default is restored.
  * debian/rules: enhance per-architecture sysctl install logic to allow
    installing "non-default" conf files instead of always building up
    a single arch-specific config.
  * debian/sysctl.d/README: clarify how to use procps when changing files.
  * debian/sysctl.conf:
    - remove outdated example of maps_protect (LP: #269715).
    - remove invalid warning about TCP Window Scaling.
