The error occurs when the procps service is already running.  procps
doesn't seem to appreciate the standard "restart" command however.

/etc/sysctl.d/README says to run /etc/initctl.d procps restart after
modifying the files in /etc/sysctl.d (like Wine does), however this
fails when procps is already running, resulting in the error above.

As a workaround I'm going to have the Wine package invoke its specific
configuration file directly, using sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-wine.conf
