Summary: no duplicities allowed in exec statement

Initial Comment:
Net-SNMP 5.4 uses different implementation of 'exec' statements in snmpd.conf. Following part of snmpd.conf causes snmpd 5.4 to crash on snmpwalk (snmpd 5.3 works):

exec shelltest /usr/local/bin/tempstat VRM2
exec shelltest /usr/local/bin/tempstat CPU1
exec shelltest /usr/local/bin/tempstat CPU2
exec shelltest /usr/local/bin/tempstat VRM1

-> snmpd prints "duplicate table data attempted to be entered. row exists"

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8
-> snmpd crashes

It does not matter what is in the tempstat script, simple "echo hello world" is enough.

It's easy to fix the crash (see patch attached), but why it is not allowed to have multiple 'shelltest' entries in  snmpd.conf? It was working OK in net-snmp 5.3.
