Anyway, this upstream patch seems to fix it: http://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp/agent/helpers/row_merge.c?r1=15537&r2=15536&pathrev=15537
I'm not a subscriber. Thanks for posting the patch, that allows me to build local packages. BTW - this bug is a palindrome. Sorry, found that funny somehow. Next will be 588885.
Just tested that patch, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
