hrProcessorLoad

We are running Net-SNMP 5.1.2 on a Redhat 4 update 6 system and are
trying to monitor cpu usage using the SNMPv2-SMI Host Resources MIB.
The hrProcessorLoad table appears to be broken, we get crazy values
returned from queries.
 
Googling around on the net shows that the hrProcessorLoad table is
broken on Net-SNMP versions below 5.4 and this is a known issue.  Has
this been fixed in Net-SNMP 5.4.2.1 ?????  What is the bugfix number for
this, or is there any doc I can obtain describing the bug and the fix?
I looked through the "CHANGES" file in the 5.4.2.1 distribution tarball
but could not find anything pertaining to this fix.
 
I realise it is better to use the ssCpu* oids in the UCD-SNMP-MIB
however we are monitoring with WhatsUp Gold and it is our company
standard.  WhatsUp Gold uses the host resources mib for everything on
the default active monitor display and the guys responsible for WhatsUp
here do not want to make a custom active monitoring page for our redhat
systems.
 
I've opened up a case with our vendor to get net-snmp5.4.2.1 built into
an rpm for our platform so we can pull it off ULN however they want info
on the bug and the fix, prefferably a bug number.
 
So in summary, was this hrProcessorLoad issue fixed in 5.4.2.1 and is
there any doc or bugfix # I can pass on to our vendor to prove the
problem was fixed ???
