Doing a walk on ifTable consistently crashes snmpb. It does not matter what remote SNMP agent is used. The version I have installed is the currently available one snmpb_0.8_i386.deb. Walking other tables is not a problem.
I downloaded and built snmpb. Running that version it does not crash. The identical walk using the pre-built deb still crashes repeatably. Not sure how to debug it now, but at least I have a version that works.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
