Re: Loading a particular MIB causes "init_snmp" to crash

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I know the error in MIB file (same as specified by
Dave), but should an erroneous value in MIB crash the application?

I want to know some way that can report error on MIB and exit/write a log.

Thanks and Regards
