Re: FW: calling init_mib() to reload SNMP MIBs

init_mib is designed to be called *once*.
If called a second time, it will simply return immediately.

Again, init_mib_internals is also designed to be called *once*,
and if called a second time, will simply return immediately.
You can safely omit this.

Well test it, then!
Monitor the memory usage of a quiescent agent,
while repeatedly signalling it to re-load the MIBs.

It should be fairly clear whether this leaks memory or not.

Again - suck it and see.

If you've got a question like this ("what happens if...."),
it's best to actually try it out for yourself, and see what happens.
