In 5.1 when an agent rejects a snmp v3 packet because it is not in the
time window frame, the manager utilities will resend the packet, which
seems to be pointless because the timiming error will most likely still
ocour for the retransmitted packet as well.
The code in question is in snmp_api function _sess_process_packet.
The situation unfortunately seems to be even worse: after sending the
request seven times, the client apps will *hang* in select() forever!
See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8789525
and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8795635
and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8796124
(always item 2; the other one has been fixed by Wes these days).
At least this was the case in 5.1.2.pre2 which was the last time I
checked this.
