I already posted this as a bug 1626410, but thought I should kick it to
the list in case any discussion needed to take place.

Brief:  

At times, the hrSWRun tables do not get completely populated on Solaris
9.

Details:

SunOS host.foo.com 5.9 Generic_118558-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
Solaris

NetSNMP 5.4

./configure  --disable-embedded-perl --with-mib-modules="udp-mib tcp-mib
ucd-snmp/lmSensors" --with-cc=gcc

I wrote a simple script that ran snmpwalk for 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName against the host above every 1 second.

At the time, the host was was running 273 processes.  

My script basically recorded when the entry count of
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName was less than 273.  This did occur,
rather quickly in fact:

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName entry count is:  37 (basically an wc -l)

and yet 

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses.0 = Gauge32: 274

the output of HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName looked liked:

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.1 = STRING: "init"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.2 = STRING: "pageout"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3 = STRING: "fsflush"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.59 = STRING: "syseventd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.67 = STRING: "picld"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.159 = STRING: "inetd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.179 = STRING: "lockd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.180 = STRING: "statd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.189 = STRING: "syslog-ng"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.197 = STRING: "cron"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.210 = STRING: "nscd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.220 = STRING: "powerd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.231 = STRING: "utmpd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.232 = STRING: "sshd"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.235 = STRING: "-sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.241 = STRING: "bash"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.305 = STRING: "htt"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.307 = STRING: "htt_server"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.314 = STRING: "rpc.metad"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.319 = STRING: "mdmonitord"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.346 = STRING: "dtlogin"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.379 = STRING: "oracleARSDEV"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.381 = STRING: "oracleARSDEV"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.385 = STRING: "vold"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.531 = STRING: "sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.532 = STRING: "sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.534 = STRING: "sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.535 = STRING: "sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.541 = STRING: "frcode"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.542 = STRING: "sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.543 = STRING: "sort"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.544 = STRING: "find"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.787 = STRING: "sac"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.788 = STRING: "-sh"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.797 = STRING: "ttymon"
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.1052 = STRING: "perl"

A few seconds later, the counts returned to normal and 
the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName returned to normal with a count of
273.

I have actually seen this behavior since 5.1 release on Solaris across
all my Solaris hosts running NetSNMP (about 10 hosts).  

Is this a known issue?
