Hi Dave, I am glad to say that I have fixed the issue of library crashing due to erroneous MIBs or any parse error in MIB and I have done it within a day. Please let me know how to submit the fix/patch now. I must say here that it is really an amazing learning experience and an ultimate proud feeling that comes within yourself after finding and fixing such typical issues. I would love to be the part of Coders of Open source libraries in future also. Thanks for the motivation.
