+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #469620 +++

Description of problem:

This has been fixed upstream, please see details at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1856562&group_id=12694&atid=112694

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Stop snmpd
- Start it using using any of the below method.

# snmpd -LF
# snmpd -LS

Snmpd shouldn't segfault, instead it should either start snmpd or say "syntax error". These options are deprecated as per "snmpd --help", but it should never segfault at any cost.

Actual results:

Snmpd segfatuls.

Expected results:

It shouldn't, but it should report "invalid syntax" if the passed options does not make any sense to it.

Additional info:

Patch is already upstream and is available from the above link.
