Hi,

I've stumbled upon snmpd processing malformed requests. How should 
snmplib react to it? E.g. my snmpd received get-request with ASN.1 error 
in Request ID - instead of Type: 2, Length: 1, Value: 0xc it received 
Type: 32, which is wrong. But the request got processed and answered, 
nothing checks for type of Request-ID component. And I've noticed that 
there are no such checks in general, not only Request-ID... Is it 
feature or a bug? IMHO such malformed packets should be silently 
discarded. Would you mind if I add checks to appropriate asn_parse_xxx? 
Or is it up to the caller to check returned type and I shall add the 
checks there? It's more work this way ;).
