"error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)" when snmpd reconfiguration and restart

Hi,

I always get these error messages in /var/log/messages when try to 
reconfiguration (and restart) the snmpd:

Oct  9 09:26:18 mark12-a snmpd[2930]: Reconfiguring daemon
Oct  9 09:26:18 mark12-a snmpd[2930]: NET-SNMP version 5.3.1 restarted
Oct  9 09:26:18 mark12-a snmpd[2930]: error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)


Steps to reproduce:

1 - Modify the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file. The "syscontact" section is changed   
    from "Mark" to "Mark1":

[root@mark12-a ~]# cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it was machine generated on Thu Oct  9 09:17:19 2008
# Instead, edit or re-generate /etc/resilience.conf and rerun the
# configuration script.
#
# Resilience snmpd configuration: specifies community string
# assignment, defines groups, views and access.

# Trap definition, if any defined here

# Community string assignment
#
#       sec.name        source          community
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
com2sec network         default         public

# Group definition
#
#       group.name      sec.model       sec.name
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
group   rogroup         v1              network
group   rogroup         v2c             network

# View definition
#
#       view.name       incl/excl       subtree                         mask
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
view    mib2            included        .1.3.6.1.2.1                    fc

# Access definition
#
#       group   ctxt    sec.mod sec.level       prefix  read    write   notif
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
access  rogroup ""      any     noauth          exact   mib2    none    none

# sysLocation and sysContact definition, if any defined here
syslocation     hangzhou
syscontact      Mark1

# sysDescr definition
sysdescr mark12 (SN# 20099), Version 10.0.0 build 60001

# Proxy definition, if any defined here

# EOF


2 - Send the signal `SIGHUP' to the snmpd:
	# kill -s SIGHUP `pidof snmpd`

System information:
# rpm -q net-snmp
net-snmp-5.3.1-19.el5

# uname -r
2.6.18-92.1.10.EL

This is always reproduceable when we try to reconfigure the daemon (not in the 
first time the snmpd started).

Any idea? If this is a bug, is it critical? What will be affected?

Thanks in advance!

Have fun,
Xiaoming (Mark) Zhang
