Summary: Perl getnext failing to split instances in 4.2pre2

Details: The following example code breaks under 4.2pre2:

use SNMP;
$sess = new SNMP::Session(DestHost => 'myhost', 
                          Community => 'xxxx');
$var = new SNMP::Varbind(['prEntry',0]);
do {
   $val = $sess->getnext($var);
   $tag=$var->[$SNMP::Varbind::tag_f];
   print "TAG $tag INSTANCE $var->[$SNMP::Varbind::iid_f]",
         " VALUE $var->[$SNMP::Varbind::val_f]\n";
} until ($sess->{ErrorStr} or 
         $tag !~ /(.*\.)*pr[A-Za-z]+(\.[0-9])*$/);



The output under 4.1.2 is as expected 

TAG prIndex INSTANCE 1 VALUE 1
TAG prNames INSTANCE 1 VALUE inetd
TAG prMin INSTANCE 1 VALUE 0
TAG prMax INSTANCE 1 VALUE 0
TAG prCount INSTANCE 1 VALUE 1
TAG prErrorFlag INSTANCE 1 VALUE 0
TAG prErrMessage INSTANCE 1 VALUE 
TAG prErrFix INSTANCE 1 VALUE 0
TAG prErrFixCmd INSTANCE 1 VALUE 
TAG memIndex INSTANCE 0 VALUE 0

but under 4.2pre2 I get

TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prIndex.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 1
TAG prNames INSTANCE 1 VALUE inetd
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prMin.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 0
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prMax.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 0
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prCount.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 1
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 0
TAG prErrMessage INSTANCE 1 VALUE 
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.prTable.prEntry.prErrFix.1 INSTANCE  VALUE 0
TAG prErrFixCmd INSTANCE 1 VALUE 
TAG .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.ucdavis.memory.memIndex.0 INSTANCE  VALUE 0


i.e getnext appears to be failing in some cases only to
split the instance from the remainder of the OID. Note
prNames, prErrMessage and prErrFixCmd seem to be treated
correctly.

I believe this worked fine under 4.2pre1 but I don't have a
current installation of it to confirm that.

Add the following line to snmpd.conf

proc inetd

Apparently this has been fixed already, as I'm not able to reproduce this problem using the latest CVS snapshot (and the exact same code as the example provides).
