[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#387174: snmpd: SNMPD fails at 6:30 am daily

[Sean Whitney]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.2.3-1
Severity: important

This version of snmpd has introduced a bug into this package which
manifests itself daily at 6:27-6:30 every day.  The process dies with
this error message

syslog.0:Sep 12 06:27:11 feynman snmpd[2496]: netsnmp_assert index == tmp failed if-mib/data_access/interface_common.c:407 _access_interface_entry_save_name() 

I have repeated entried like this every day since upgrading.  Cricket
graphs confirm that at this time snmpd stops responding.  This webpage
seems to display a similar discussion which makes me think it is related
to the upstream package.

The machine that snmpd is running on is a sparc U1, with 8 ethernet
ports installed.
