[SNMP4J] Incorrect OID returned after GETBULK request

[Frank Fock]

Hi Iker,

The description of the GETBULK operation at site
you quoted below is incorrect and incomplete in
several ways.

Please refer to RFC 3416 §4.2.3 for a correct
and comprehensive description of the GETBULK
operation.

Best regards,
Frank
