Is this a general problem, or does it just affect the example that you mention? Because that particular test seems to be testing the handling of 32-bit overflow. > The request OID > 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.2.2.1.3.4294967295.128.0.31.136.128.5.144.12.252.0.0.2. > 100.7.118.51.117.115.101.114.50 Note that the subidentifier value 4294967295 equates to 0xffffffff which is the maximum valid value for an individual subidentifier. Incrementing this value (to identify the next row) on a 32-bit system might easily wrap back to 0, rather than moving on to the next column. I suspect that this may well be what's happening here. Of course, if you are seeing similar errors with other tests (that don't involve such large subidentifiers), then that would indicate a more serious problem!
