What is the proper behavior for a GET when MFD_SKIP is returned?

I am writing an agent using 5.2.1 and mib2c/mfd. If my agent 
receives a GET request, but the column has not been implemented yet, I 
return MFD_SKIP. If I use snmpget to kick off a GET request, the 
*_interface.c code returns ASN_PRIV_RETRY and no error. This ends up 
causing retries, until snmpget timesout. I know that the snmp protocol 
isn't all that smart, but timing out seems a bit much.

    What should the proper behavior be? I would think that if I'm 
receiving a GET request, then I should go down the same path as 
MFD_ERROR, or something.... If so, is the proper place to check in the 
mib2c generated *_interface.c code?

    Thanx, tom.c
