But Wes - Erez is talking about *registering* the table, not
user-helper processing. There doesn't seem to be the option
within the netsnmp_table_helper_add_indexes call to indicate
the length of a fixed-length index string.  So how can the
automatic index processing (in the table helper) parse the
incoming OID correctly?
