trouble with proc monitoring incorrectly setting prErrorFlag

We use snmpd on a couple hundered linux servers all using the 'proc'
monitoring features.  After a recent upgrade to centos 4.5, we've started
getting a lot of false alerts from snmpd where prErrorFlag is incorectly
set to one even though the process is operating within the bounds specified
in the configuration.  

I've searched for a bit but haven't been able to find any open bug reports.
Is this a known issue?  If so, is there a patch that I can use to when
submitting a bug report to centos for a packaging fix?

Currently installed revision is net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.10

snmpd.conf contains:

proc    mx-mail-conf_fe
