Bill, I too have tried in the same fashion [in subagent: register a scalar handler and put a sleep in MODE_SET_ACTION] before I have commented like I couldn't see the issue in v5.7.1. May be as you stated, it is there and hard to invoke!
At that time, I have tried the below listed two ways actually. 1. agentXTimeout 7, agentXRetries 0 and sleep in MODE_SET_ACTION as 20 [all timeout values in sec] Sleep interval greater than default ping interval [15 sec] 2. agentXTimeout 1, agentXRetries 0 and sleep in MODE_SET_ACTION as 5 Sleep interval less than default ping interval [15 sec] The agentx connection had broken in between in both the cases. I am wondering why the session break happening in the 2nd case. Anyway I could notice that the agentx/master process goes through netsnmp_wrap_up_request() during these scenario and reset netsnmp_processing_set global. -renjith .-----Original Message----- .From: Bill Fenner [mailto:fen...@gmail.com] .Sent: 31 December 2011 07:10 PM .To: Renjith R.

Both the disconnect and the timeout end up going through .netsnmp_remove_delegated_requests_for_session(), which then causes .check_delayed_request() to call netsnmp_wrap_up_request() which resets .netsnmp_processing_set. . .
