snmpd crash when AgentX subagent does not respond

We are having trouble with non-responsive AgentX subagents taking down 
snmpd. AFAICT this is due to several GET/GETNEXT requests arriving 
before snmpd decides that the first request has ultimately timed out and 
the agentx session is closed. Also, the cause seems to be problems with 
dynamic storage: a stale pointer to a subtree, but I'm not 100% sure of 
this.

It seems that this problem has been reported at least twice (1097029, 
1574285) and I was able to reproduce on a recent nightly tarball snmpd.

Anybody know how I can get somebody to look at the problem? I'm trying 
to solve it myself, but the source code is hard to read if you don't 
really understand all the intricacies of SNMP.
