net-snmp (snmpd) -- is it thread safe when using the out of the box features?

Hello,

I am a novice to net-snmp (snmpd).

I would like to ask whether net-snmp can be considered thread safe when using the out of the box features as it is.

My needs are simple actually.

I am using net-snmp (snmpd) to query,
1)the load average of the host linux server (made available in the UCD tree)
2)an extension implemented using the extend directive, for example, "extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.xxxx.yy.z ext1 /usr/bin/head -c 10 /path/to/afile.txt"

I did find the following pages in the wiki that talks about thread safety when using the net-snmp library, but I am not clear whether they are relevant when using net-snmp (snmpd) as it is out of the box.

http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/README.thread.html

Thanks for your time and patience

Venkat
