No - the two fields have completely different purposes.
A single GetBulk request is basically equivalent to one
GetNext request (with "non-repeater" varbinds) followed
by "max-repetitions" GetNext requests (each containing
the remaining varbinds).
So
GetBulk( non=2, max=3) A B C D E
is equivalent to:
GetNext A B
GetNext C D E
GetNext C' D' E'
GetNext C" D" E"
If max=1, then this becomes
GetNext A B
GetNext C D E
which is exactly equivalent to
GetNext A B C D E
It's the max-repetitions field that really distinguishes
GetBulk from GetNext requests. Hence setting this to 1
is pointless.
