Decreasing the wait in RequestList::receive

[Frank Fock]

Hi Gary,

You can even use a value of 0 (no waiting) as parameter for the
receive method. You would then have to check the SNMP port
for incoming messages by any other means.

When you modify (update) the values of your Mib before
calling process_request AND multi-threading is enabled, then
make sure that you lock (and unlock) the Mib instance by

mib->lock_mib();

and then lock each instance you want to update by

MibEntry->start_synch();
// update
MibEntry->end_synch();
...
Mib->unlock_mib();

Best regards,
Frank
