You can modify snmpd.c so that the call to getdtablesize is excluded for 
Windows (MSVC / MinGW).  This has been fixed in CVS so it will be also 
fixed in the next release.

#ifndef WIN32
     /*
      * close all non-standard file descriptors we may have
      * inherited from the shell.
      */
     for (i = getdtablesize() - 1; i > 2; --i) {
         (void) close(i);
     }
#endif /* #WIN32 */

I am not sure what problem the above code is supposed to fix.  Maybe 
Robert can comment on it as he was the one who added it.  I don't think 
it is an issue with Windows.
