NET-SNMP version: 5.5.pre2 (and 5.4.2.1 i think)
I'm using the NET-SNMP python bindings to perform a walk on the OID
'1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2'.
I'm in a multi-thread environment. The thread doing the walk is not the
main thread.
It's one of several thread of a thread-pool object.
All works fine, but *SOMETIMES* (not very often) the walk returns a strange
result. The input parameter VarList contains a set of "malformed" Varbind
objects. Some fields are None!
You can see the same output in two different tentatives (OUTPUT 1 and
OUTPUT 2):
I don't know if it's a problem of my multi-threading environment or not.
I have problems in reproducing the bug.
Thank you.

SNMPWALK COMMAND TEST
---------------------
This is what i get with the command line program:
$ snmpwalk -On -v 1 -c public $HOST 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.768 = INTEGER: 1
