Re: snmpd 5.4.rc2 error messages

Thanks again, Robert

Since this doesn't seem to cause any problems except for filling up the 
log files, and since it's been registered as a bug, I'm just going to 
wait to see if the final release of 5.4 fixes the problem properly. If 
there is no fix forthcoming there, I'll have another look.

Thanks again.

Mike
