Hi

I have a stats program that updates an OIDs using a perl do in
snmpd.conf.  The MIB definition of my OID is a Counter32. 

A Counter32 type represents a non-negative integer which monotonically
increases until it reaches a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295
decimal), when it wraps around and starts increasing again from zero.

When my stats program reports the Counter32 at 4294967295, the OID does
not get reset itself to 0. 

One workaround that I have is to restart the processes so that the
counters start from 0. Is there a better way to fix this rather than
restarting the processes?

I've encountered this issue with NetSNMP version 5.4.3. Is this a known
bug?


Thanks
Mark
