problem encountered while issuing multiple snmpset on octetstring oids

Hi,
 
I'm using net-snmp-5.6.rc1, and I just encontered a strange behavior while issuing multiple snmpset on octet string oids.
 
I have an oid that holds an octet string.  When my module is initialized, the contents of the oid is initialized to "private".
 
Then, I issue an snmpget to check if initialization was done correctly.
 
snmpget -v1 -cprivate localhost myoid.0
 
it responds with "private", which it is ok,
 
Then, I issue an snmpset and modify the contents to a strlen less than 'private' (7).
 
snmpset does it right the first time, but consecutives calls to snmpset, gives me the remainder of 'private'
 
for example;
 
snmpset -v1 -cprivate localhost myoid.0 s "leo"
it responded that myoid.0 is set to "leo" successfully,
 
but when I do an snmpget, the value is "leovate"
 
I used DEBUGMSGTL to track the len of requests->requestvb->val.string, and it shows me that for snmpset to "leo", the strlen is still 7 instead of 3.  I'm suspecting that somehow requests->requestvb->val.string is keeping the previous contents, and it is overwritting them with new ones, leaving the trails of old contents.
 
I also made sure that I've clear my buffer using
 
memset(_myoid, '\0', _myoid_len);
 
and still happening.
 
Is this a bug? or I'm doing something wrong?
 
Thanks!
 
Leo;
I issue the first snmpset like so;
 
snmpset -v1 -cprivate localhost myoid.0 s "leo"
