Good suggestion, we have seen a number of commercial applications and
products not integrate well with Net-SNMP due to bugs in them ..
examples:
* Certain F5 Big IP releases will drop SNMP traffic
* eHealth won't poll Net-SNMP at all
* SysEdge commercial agent can't be polled by Net-SNMP using SNMP v2c, only v1

We did what Peter suggested in each case in order to determine where
things were getting messed up, consistently it has turned out to be
something other than Net-SNMP, which is a testament to the stability
of the agent.

My point: if you work long enough with SNMP with commercial apps you
will encounter strange behavior more than you might think you would
:).
