Summary: Some SNMP queries always return wrong static answer

Initial Comment:
This bug report is replacing 2 other existing issues
768782 and 693443.  It seems that certain SNMP queries
willseem to be working - ie they return a value,
however that value will be wrong and always the same. 
This may in fact be the query failing.  The old reports
we have are this:
- all queries of WebLogic 7 SNMP properties return 1
- queries of Solaris 8 CPU return 12
Using snmpget or other similar tools worked correctly
from the same machine in both cases.

SF user nkame came up with this clue after
investigating with a packet sniffer:
"It seems that OpenSTA does't send pure OID as is, and
does some magic. In my case I tried to get
1.3.6.1.4.1.2725.1.3.2, but OpenSTA was requesting
sysUpTime.6.1.4.1.2725.1.3.2, that is it assumed my OID
was relative to the MIB-2 root (1.3.6.1.2.1).  Changing
my requested OID to a "MIB-able" name
(enterprises.2725.1.3.2) solved the problem.  I still
have from time to time a 12 appearing, perhaps due to a
time-out or another non-handled error"

Please add other reports of static and wrong values
returned by SNMP to this bug report rather than opening
any new report.  The more information we have the
sooner we can get to the bottom of this and fix it.
