versionRestartAgent restarts the agent only once.

Hello Net-SNMP gurus, 

I am facing the following problem with net-snmp 5.3.1 on Linux (both tested on SLES 9.3 x86_64 and SUSE 9.3 i686). 

We are using the DISMAN Event MIB to monitor the current size of the server partitions, in order to get informed if a partition is nearly full. 

In some circumstances, we may need to restart the agent. This is achieved using UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionRestartAgent, e.g.: 

$ snmpset -v2c -c debugrw localhost UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionRestartAgent.0 i 1

However, it seems that the agent can be restarted only one time.

Upon the first restart, everything behave as expected. In particular, we are getting the traps corresponding to the current state of the monitored partitions.

However, the next restart attempts with SNMP-MIB::versionRestartAgent do not produce any traps. I don't even get the coldStart trap. 

Please find below a sample configuration file for testing purposes. If you cannot reproduce the problem, I would be happy to conduct the corresponding troubleshootings, if you tell me how to proceed. 

Thanks in advance, 
Loic.
