Try registering the .1 subtree using a different (higher) priority.
That should be sufficient to avoid the duplicate registration.

Alternatively, tweak the agent code to not register the three top-level
subtrees automatically.  I don't *think* that should break anything.

Hmmm... not sure about that.

It *might* be possible for the 'check_getnext_results()' routine to do
some additional processing when running as part of an AgentX
subagent  -  I can't recall whether the incoming AgentX GetNext
request includes end-of-range information or not.
