It took me a while to realize what you were missing.  It's a rather
important line:

   init_snmp("snmpapp");

snmp_open doesn't actually make a connection (because SNMP works
normally over UDP which is connectionless).  It just "gets the session
ready to work".  Which doesn't mean it has succeeded in talking to the
other side.
