Does the snmpd daemon has a size limit for setting strings?

Is there a chance that snmpd trunctuates a string that is larger than 910
chars?

I try to run this from a client:

snmpset -v3 -u user 1.1.1.17 .1.3.6.1.4.1.50000.1.10 string
"/tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name = \\\"ip.dst\\\") and (. =

and (. = \\\"0xff000000\\\")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"ip.src\\\") and (. = \\\"0xffffff00\\\")] &
/tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name = \\\"ip.src\\\") and (. !=

/tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name = \\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (. <

\\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (.  \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. !=
\\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. > \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l3_dest_site\\\") and (. <

and (. != \\\"0xffff0000\\\")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (. < \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name = \\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (. >

and (.  \\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. != \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. >
\\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"prot.l3_dest_site\\\") and (. < \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l3_dest_site\\\") and (.
 \\\"0\\\")] | /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name = \\\"ip.src\\\") and (.
= \\\"0xff000000\\\")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"ip.src\\\") and (. = \\\"0xffffff00\\\")] &
/tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name = \\\"ip.src\\\") and (. !=
\\\"0xffff0000\\\")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name = \\\"ip.dst\\\")
and (. = \\\"0xffff0000\\\")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"ip.dst\\\") and (. != \\\"0xffff0000\\\")] &
/tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name = \\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (. <
\\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name = \\\"tcp.dstport\\\")
and (. > \\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"tcp.dstport\\\") and (.  \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. !=
\\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"prot.l2_from_site\\\") and (. > \\\"0\\\")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = \\\"prot.l3_dest_site\\\") and (. <
\\\"0\\\")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
\\\"prot.l3_dest_site\\\") and (.  \\\"0\\\")]"

And in the server I have this line in snmpd.conf:

"pass  .1.3.6.1.4.1.50000.1 /opt/tiger/scripts/handler.sh"

handler.sh is just a python script that dumps all arguments vector into a
file, this is the output:

I was called with ['/opt/tiger/scripts/handler.sh', '-g',
'.1.3.6.1.4.1.50000.1.10']
I was called with ['/opt/tiger/scripts/handler.sh', '-s',
'.1.3.6.1.4.1.50000.1.10', 'string', '/tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.dst") and (. = "0xff000000")] | /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.src") and (. = "0xff000000")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.src") and (. = "0xffffff00")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.src") and (. != "0xffff0000")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.dst") and (. = "0xffff0000")] & /tigerXML/ip/field[(attribute::name =
"ip.dst") and (. != "0xffff0000")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name =
"tcp.dstport") and (. < "0")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name =
"tcp.dstport") and (. > "0")] & /tigerXML/tcp/field[(attribute::name =
"tcp.dstport") and (.  "0")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name =
"prot.l2_from_site") and (. != "0")] & /tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name
= "prot.l2_from_site") and (. > "0")] &
/tigerXML/prot/field[(attribute::name = "prot.l3_dest_site") and (. < "0")]
& /tigerXML/prot/fi']


You can see that it trunctuates the string to 910 characters (and originally
it is much more).
Am I doing something wrong or this is a known limit?
Can I somehow increase this limit?


Thanks in advance,
Daniel.
