After 7+ years?  Are you nuts, Robert?
I have enough difficulty remembering what got changed
(and why) after 7 days!

I don't have the time ATM to look up exactly when this
change was made.  (It took quite a bit of searching last
time).  But I seem to vaguely recall that it was probably
part of Mike's SSI stuff.

After so long with a fixed backoff, any change to
the Net-SNMP timeout behaviour *must* be optional
(and default to off).

Yes - this is probably worth doing at some point.
If you want to see it in 5.3, then you'd better get
moving quickly!  Otherwise it'll have wait until 5.4.
