Subject: /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs value changed unexpectedly

I'm wondering why the content of that file is changed from 1500 to 60000 after 
I s2ram'ed the ThinkPad yesterday (docked) and waked it up today.

I've a Gentoo system with kernel 2.6.38.2 and use /etc/conf.d/local.start to 
set this value at boot to 1500.

I think this is a regression althought it might be that this happened in 
2.6.37 too. I cannot remember such a behaviour under 2.6.36.
