Summary: Solaris hrSWRun fix

Initial Comment:
I noticed that when there is a lot of processes which spawn/die fast enough, snmpd can just "stop" after random number of entries.
Upon investigating, i noticed that in hrSWRun, on SunOS9, in use is "/proc" interface for getting process info.
In my case, where there is a lot of fast dying processes, snmpd will try to open "/proc" entries. I case that entry  (process file) doesn't exists, snmpd will wrongly return NULL, and end mib table! This is wrong.
It should, instead, return NULL pojnter in proc_buf, which is later nicely handled by returning "<exited>" as process name and so on. I'm guessing this is copy-paste error from some other previously written code ...

Attached patch fix this.

H.

Thanks for the patch!  It has been applied to the 5.2.x, 5.3.x and 5.4.x
code branches and the main development tree, and will appear in future
releases of the Net-SNMP package.
