Be warned that bugs lurk in many of the unsupported, freely available 
SNMP engines.

Make sure that your code properly ASN.1/BER encodes counters/gauges/timeticks
(i.e. the unsigned things) properly when the 32nd bit (the sign bit on 32-
bit integers) is set.  It should take *5* octets length do this, not 4 as in 
some code.

Also check that get next really works.  It should be able to take *any* oid, 
whether or not that oid represents a variable, and finds the sucessor (or 
end of the mib.)

Also check that your strings (e.g. sysDescr) are real NVT, i.e. that if 
there are multiple lines that the lines are separated by CR LF, not merely 
LF.  And don't send any trailing nulls.
