That's what I thought you would see.

No.

What I believe is happening is that the agent gets slightly confused when it
sees one of these processes.   Returning "noSuchInstance" for a GET request
is arguably OK (though an empty string might be more sensible).
   But at the very least it should skip over such an entry for a
GETNEXT request,
and return the next available value.

  Though of course, returning an empty string regardless would fix this problem
anyway.
