The "reason" is that it's a bug.
Most of the code has been developed on 32-bit systems, where a "long"
variable is the correct size for a (32-bit) IP address.   So sending
an IP value could use "sizeof(long)" - exactly like the various
integer-based types.

This assumption fails on 64-bit systems, where "sizeof(long)" is
typically 8 bytes.

You still haven't answered the original question.  What version of the
Net-SNMP agent are you using?
