For all those who are interested, I found out what's wrong. You will have to
specify ASN_OCTET_STR as value type, not ASN_BIT_STR. I have absolutely no
idea why and it's very supprising from my point of view, but it works.
It would be a great help, if there was a method that allowed to determine
the ASN type to be passed to setValue() from the OID. Unfortunately neither
SNMP::getType() nor accessing the element in %SNMP::MIB will help here,
both return BITS.
