The problem here is that the container_load function calls netsnmp_access_udp_endpoint_container_free with
NETSNMP_ACCESS_UDP_ENDPOINT_FREE_DONT_CLEAR. While this is correct in many mibs since the objects
in the container are usually loaded into the rowreq_ctx container, this is not the case here. Data from the objects is
put into other objects, but not the objects themself. So they should be cleaned up.

    Thanks for the bug report!
    We've fixed the problem in the 5.3.x and 5.4.x
    code branches and the main development tree,
    so it should be fixed in future releases of the
    Net-SNMP package.
