Then it returns "endOfMibView", and the master agent knows to move
on to the next registered chunk of the tree.
  Once the last subagent/MIB module has returned "endOfMibView",
then the master agent can give up and return the same error
(or noSuchName for SNMPv1) to the original client application.
