Programmatic GET doesn't always work

Hello all,

I am trying to GET some information from a subagent programmatically, from
an application I am writing. I have the master agent (snmpd) running, and
the SMUX subagent from which I wish to GET information. My application also
contains an embedded AgentX subagent, to serve unrelated SNMP information.

When I get to the point of the programmatic GET, I have verified that the
master, SMUX, and AgentX agents are all running. My GET code goes into a
tight loop (apparently) as top shows my application using 99.9% CPU, and I
have verified that the place where this occurs is the snmp_synch_response
function call. Also, the tight loop never breaks, continues forever.

The weird part:
I added some code to have the app stop and wait for a kbhit before making
the snmp_synch_response call. If I let it run up to the kbhit point, then
open another shell and perform a manual GET of the data (snmpget), then
provide the kbhit for the app to continue, the programmatic GET works.
*When* the programmatic GET works, it works perfectly.

OS: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
Net-SNMP: v5.3.1

Has anyone seen something like this? If so, please do tell!
Thank you in advance,
DWA
