Re: snmp API: read_objid should not return an error in the case

I guess the cause is not in path of mib because snmptranslate works
fine with that name:

~/trial/snmp> snmptranslate -IR sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
~/trial/snmp> snmptranslate -On SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
~/trial/snmp> snmptranslate -Tp -IR system
+--system(1)
   |
   +-- -R-- String    sysDescr(1)
   |        Textual Convention: DisplayString
   |        Size: 0..255
   +-- -R-- ObjID     sysObjectID(2)
   +-- -R-- TimeTicks sysUpTime(3)
   |  |
   |  +--sysUpTimeInstance(0)
   |
   +-- -RW- String    sysContact(4)
   |        Textual Convention: DisplayString
   |        Size: 0..255
   +-- -RW- String    sysName(5)
   |        Textual Convention: DisplayString
   |        Size: 0..255
   +-- -RW- String    sysLocation(6)

   |        Range: 0..127
   +-- -R-- TimeTicks sysORLastChange(8)
   |        Textual Convention: TimeStamp
   |
   +--sysORTable(9)
      |
      +--sysOREntry(1)
         |  Index: sysORIndex
         |
         +-- ---- INTEGER   sysORIndex(1)
         |        Range: 1..2147483647
         +-- -R-- ObjID     sysORID(2)
         +-- -R-- String    sysORDescr(3)
         |        Textual Convention: DisplayString

                  Textual Convention: TimeStamp


and if I pass "SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0" instead of "system.sysDescr.0"
read_objid works as I expected:

#include <net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h>
#include <net-snmp/net-snmp-includes.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    oid anOID[MAX_OID_LEN];
    size_t anOID_len = MAX_OID_LEN;

    init_snmp("snmptest");

    /*if(!read_objid("system.sysDescr.0", anOID, &anOID_len))*/
    if(!read_objid("SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0", anOID, &anOID_len))
	snmp_perror("read_objid");
    else
	puts("no errors");

}

~/trial/snmp> ./a.out
no errors

It is possible read_objid() uses different format from get_node() function...
