I owe you a beer!  The patch works great while using extend.  Just for
the archives sake, I ma doing the following with your patch.

Using the JVM built in snmp management tool on loopback with a
preconfigured port.  I have shell scripts that return 0|1 depending on
the snmpwalk output in them.  Those scripts are "extend"ing the
enterprise MIB for each jvm instance.  The monitor then watches the
entended OID and compares (with your patch) 0|1, and fires properly.

Thanks again!
