I've grep'ed all of the kernel for occurances of swapout_interval, and haven't found where the alledged multiplication should take place...
But the fact remains that /proc/sys/vm/swapout_interval returns a false value... If you (or anyone for that matter) could give me a pointer, I'll try and fix the bug for you...
