I understand (based on your response) the subagent and master agent (or other
subagents for that matter) should not be running as separate threads from
within the "same" application.
However, would it be acceptable to run "one" subagent in it's own thread in an
existing application which has other non-SNMP threads already running in it?
Based on your previous response I was not sure whether you were indicating
whether a subagent should be it's own application all the time, or simply just
not be placed in the same application with other SNMP specific threads.
I am having trouble with the subagent running in an application which has other
non-SNMP threads runnning at the same time and was trying to determine if
having a subagent thread in this application was causing me trouble with it not
being thread-safe or something.

The whole point of having master and subagents is that they
are two completely separate applications.
I wouldn't run them as separate threads from the same
basic application - better to invoke them as two completely
separate applications.
Or at the very least, use fork() and exec() to separate them off
from your main application driving routine.
The same would hold true for any subsequent subagents too.
