Re: SNMP.pm status

hi alex,

thanx for fixing 1206712!

i just posted another bug ... #1267617 (i can't see the bugs i've created 
when i'm logged in to sourceforge ... but i can if i'm 'anonymous', i.e. 
not logged in ... weird).

anyway, this one describes how the MIB compiling function intermittently 
fails, using SNMP.pm, whereas it works fine when invoked from a 
command-line tool.

if i can gather additional information for you, do let me know.
