    Hi,
   
  While testing the latest snmp4j agent jar, I could notice the following error: 
   
  Test Name:        Gettest2
# Description:
#   This test checks the agents ability to handle invalid object identifiers
#   while processing Get requests.  A Get request is sent for each attribute 
#   in walk.out (values returned in the "get variables to test" phase) after 
#   removing the last subid from the attribute id.  An SNMPv1 agent is expected 
#   to respond with a NO_SUCH_NAME error, while a SNMPv2C agent is expected to 
#   respond back with a noSuchInstance value if the instance component is 
#   missing, or a noSuchObject value for an invalid attribute id.

  Could anyone please confirm if this is an error in SNMP4j agent or not? This response happens for Scalar nodes only.
   
  Thanks in advance
