  Using version NET-SNMP version 5.3.2.2 sending an SNMP trap with an
  enterprise OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.86.0 results in a trap being sent
  (according to a wireshark capture) with an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.86.0
  but if the enterprise OID is send as .1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.86.0 (note the
  '.' At the front of the OID) then the trap is sent with an OID of
  1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.86.0.

Net-SNMP ignores the leading '.'s when reading an OID.  The original CMU
code that we derive from (prior to the UCD code) required you to put in
the leading dot and it was inconsistent when a dot was required, when it
was not required and what it meant.

You must specify the full oid for an enterprise now.
