Hi,

I have a subagent using the AgentX protocol. From the same process I need to 
make requests to the master agent using snmp_synch_response(). To complicate 
matters, requests for values that have handlers registered in the process, will 
also be routed through the master agent. 

That is: there are cases where I will make a request to the master agent, which 
will then be routed back to me, to be handled by the same process that sent the 
request. This may seem circuitous, but is deemed necessary to ensure consistent 
failure detection should communications with the master agent fail.

The simplest solution is to run agent_check_and_process() in a thread by itself 
within the same process. I know from previous posts that the snmp library is 
_not_ thread safe (version 5.4.1). However I am hoping that as the two APIs are 
orthogonal this usage should be okay.

Cheers, Marc
