As I recall (and this is going back a fair while now!),
the thing that broke wasn't actually the MIB implementation
code - it was the utility function for running a subcommand.

The original version was very tightly tied in to the expectations
of the extensible table, and that's where the caching was done.
Not in the extensible module itself.

I seem to remember that I was trying to make the subcommand handling
more flexible (so I could use it somewhere else - probably the trap
handler), so stripped out the caching element.   In order to revert
to the previous behaviour, it would be necessary to insert equivalent
(new) code into the extensible module var_ routine to handle the caching.

That's certainly possible, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to
address it.  Or the inclination, to be honest - I felt it was a better
use of my time to tackle doing this "right", rather than patching up
a creaking (and IMO fundamentally broken) MIB.
