I must admit that I'm very tempted by the idea of incorporating as many of
these patches as possible within the main Net-SNMP tree. Preferably to
all of the active branches, rather than just trunk (or trunk + 5.[56])
Questions:
- is this a sensible thing to consider doing?
- are there any licensing issues to prevent us simply picking
the patches up from the relevant *BSD archives ?
(As opposed to the BSD people supplying them to us)
I'd been planning to release 5.5.1.pre2 tomorrow, but feel it's
probably worth holding off to get these fixes in first, if this is
felt to be a sensible/acceptable way forward.

My inclination would be to apply the patches individually, rather
than all in one go. That might be a bit more work, but should
make it easier to identify related changes (and what problems they
are trying to address).
