-Z option no longer properly parsed

I'm using net-snmp on FreeBSD, and have been for some time.  I was very
used to the boot and engine time arguments to the -Z option being
properly parsed, and use so to avoid probe packets.  However, when I
upgraded to 5.3.1, this stopped working.  Now, the initial request
packet goes out with the proper authoritative engineID, but the boots
and engine time fields are still set to 0.  This results in the agent
sending back a report packet.

The command line I'm used to using is:

snmpget -v3 -u marcus -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A password -e
80000009030000101433D400 -Z 26,5579870 14.32.100.75 sysObjectID.0

I still have a server with 4.2.6 installed so I know the command line
should work, but under 5.3.1, I cannot get it to properly recognize the
boot and engine time arguments.  I looked in SVN and on the mailing list
archives, but the closest match was a patch to handle a boot count of 0
which is not applicable here.

At first glance, the code looks like it should work, but when I run with
-DALL, I see that set_enginetime() is only called with boots and engine
time arguments of 0:

lcd_set_enginetime: engineID 80 00 00 09 03 00 00 10 14 33 D4 00 :
boots=0, time=0

Then it picks up the proper values from the agent once the report packet
is sent:

lcd_set_enginetime: engineID 80 00 00 09 03 00 00 10 14 33 D4 00 :
boots=26, time=5582675

The full debug output can be found at

new in net-snmp 5.3.1 that should allow this to work?  Thanks.

Joe
