This script never bothers to look at the OID that it is
being asked for, or to check whether this is actually
valid.   So yes, you will get strange results.

In the case of a GET request ("-g"), you should
only return a value if the requested OID is
exactly the same as the OID that you're implementing.

In the case of a GETNEXT request ("-n"), you should
only return a value if the requested OID is *less* than
the OID that you're implementing.
   And you should return this implemented OID, *not* the
OID that you were originally given.

That's why the walk is getting confused.
