[SNMP4J] SNMP send() exception

[Frank Fock]

Scott,

Please see the change log of SNMP4J 1.10:

* Fixed: NullPointerException in PendingRequest.pduHandleAssigned
   when retry > 0.

So upgrading should fix the problem.

Best regards,
Frank

I have not reduced the code segment to more narrowly reproduce, but was wondering if there were any other status checks which are normally done to validate the send's results.
