Summary: netsnmp_oid_find_prefix() returns wrong length

Initial Comment:
Software Version Number:  5.6.1, I think.  Just downloaded the code today.
Operating System:  Solaris

If the loop finds a pair of OIDs which don't match the function returns a length value which is too large by one.

Also, the comment describing the return value is hard to read.

Attached is a context diff which shows a code fix for this problem.

Also attached are two test programs which compare the output for the two different versions of the function.
