Thanks Dave for your reply. This problem happened twice when running snmptable. It is hard to reproduce. I'm querying a table in an agentx subagent. The master and subagent are configured to use TCP. I'm running SNMP version 5.2.1.2. I'll try to run agaunst the latest net-snmp but this might take some time since I need to merge in all our changes for the last 5 years. 

This is whats in snmpd.conf,

# run as an agentx master
master agentx
# use a TCP connection
agentXSocket tcp:localhost:705
agentXTimeout 5
