Length issue for OID value in Netsnmp-5.4.2.1 version

Hi,



I have upgraded netsnmp-5.3.x to netsnmp-5.4.2.1 version in linux environment.snmp daemon is up and running for netsnmp-5.4.2.1. I am using MIB Browser to execute snmp queries, when I do snmpwalk from top of the MIB tree its failing at one particular OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.4.3.20.4.0 with "Generic Error". This is a scalar OID which is of type OCTET STRING, the value returned by this OID is of length 2048 bytes. It seems that there is a length issue, because if I return the value with reduced length to 1024 bytes then the snmpwalk gets through well. so, when the length is around 1400 bytes snmpwalk starts giving the error message as "Generic Error". snmpwalk failure for this OID is consistent if the length is retained to 2048bytes.



importantly please note that the same OID with 2048bytes of length value was working perfectly fine in the earlier version of netsnmp-5.3.x version. I have taken all the patches from my earlier version also.



Would you please let me know if there is any patch for handling the similar kind of length issues in netsnmp-5.4.2.1 and the reason why I am seeing this issue in latest version and not in the eralier version?. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.



Please respond me as early as possible, it would be of great help.



Thanks&Regards

Ambika
