hm... I don't know, perhaps someone else can answer this one. Just for
laughs I tried sending it as a
V1 trap with no varbind, and it worked.

I tried your example on my system, and it provided me an up-time value of
47796740
which (because its in hundreths of a second works out to be 5.5 days, which

is how long my Net-SNMP master agent has been running. Not _my_ sub-agent,
but the master agent.
