The 5.1 release is fairly old by now, and there's been
quite a bit of work done on 64-bit support since then.
I strongly advise you to try one of the more recent
releases - 5.2.2 or 5.3.0.1.

If you find that the newer versions suffer from the same
problems, and can supply us with suitable patches, then
we'd be delighted to fix the main Net-SNMP code for future
releases.

Because 'memAvailableSwap' is less than 'memMinimumSwap'

Not according to the figures in the above output.
OK - the values for mem{Total,Avail}Swap are clearly
wrong, which is *why* the agent thinks it's run out
of swap space. But that's the fundamental problem,
not the memSwapError flag.

No - it's not a matter of suitable configuration entries.
It's down to having the correct code to retrieve these
values in the first place.

Please try the current releases (5.2.2 and/or 5.3.0.1)
and report back.
