Two alternatives are:
* Run the command below and apply the resulting patch on your local source
tree:
svn diff -c18721
https://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp>r18721.patch
* Download the source code of the V5.5 branch (svn co
https://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/net-snmp/branches/V5-5-patches--
I have just backported r18721 to the V5.5 branch).

Any feedback is welcome.

Bart.
