"daemon" command no longer works after upgrade

On Linux, I upgraded Net-SNMP from 5.4.2.1 to 5.5.  I am running
embedded perl.
 
My /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd script issues the command:"daemon
/usr/sbin/snmpd" (the "daemon" script is contained in
/etc/init.d/functions).  This eventually expands out to the following
command string:
 
/bin/bash -c 'ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf
/dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -C'
 
which should "daemonize" snmpd.  This worked fine in the 5.4.2.1 release
but now "hangs" the snmpd script after the above command.
If I remove the 'perl do "/usr/sbin/myagent.pl";' directive from
snmpd.conf then the /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd script works properly.
 
 
 
Similarly, if I remove the 'perl do "/usr/sbin/myagent.pl";' directive
from snmpd.conf (which allows /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd to run properly)
and then attempt to do a "daemon /usr/sbin/myagent.pl" from another
startup script (where myagent.pl runs as a AgentX subagent vs. an
embedded agent then see the following:
/bin/bash -c 'ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; /usr/sbin/myagent.pl'

NET-SNMP version 5.5 AgentX subagent connected

at this point this startup script hangs also.

Any help would be appreciated.
