You're almost right on the money. snmpdiskspace.monitor isn't using
Net::SNMP, it's using G.S. Marzot's SNMP.pm, which is substantially older
and less wiser. But that doesn't matter - the problem is as you surmised,
snmpdiskspace.monitor, which assumes there aren't any discontinuities
in the MIB and fails miserably when there are. I don't think this is
the fault of the SNMP library, it's only doing what it's being asked
to do.
I'm going to try to redo snmpdiskspace.monitor's SNMP fetching so it
will work with discontinuous tables.
