Net-snmp brings subagent down

[Joan L. <Joa...@ov...>]

Does anyone know how to prevent net-snmp from bringing down the subagent
via the call to 
agent_check_and_process(0);

Under certain conditions I have seen the program terminate - I do not at
this point know if it is via an assert or exit - the subagent process id
goes away. Yet there is no apparent crash. I have verified that it is
occurring inside the call to agent_check_and_process.
One of the condition that causes this is the subagent is busy doing
other things for 2 minutes.

If anyone has seen this behavior and knows how to avoid it - please let
me know,
Thanks.
