The spec that Wes quoted continues as follows:

   This alternate Response-PDU is then encapsulated into a message.
   If the size of the resultant message is less than or equal to both a
   local constraint and the maximum message size of the originator,
   it is transmitted to the originator of the GetRequest-PDU.

  Otherwise,   [which seems to cover your case]  the snmpSilentDrops
   [RFC3418] counter is incremented and the resultant message is
   discarded.

See section 4.2.1 of RFC 3416
