GETBULK sends a single request that should return *up to* 48 repetitions of the specified OID. The agent is perfectly free to return less than this number of values. For example, if the full list would be too big or take too long to calculate. > If I walk the same object, I get all 52 items. An snmpwalk command will send multiple requests until it receives all of the specified tree. I suspect that if you tried "snmpbulkwalk" with max-repeaters=48, and turned on packet dumps to watch the traffic, then you'd probably see two request/response pairs - not just the one.
