[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#468260: Found the problem

[Jonathan Steinert]

I found the code which is causing this bug. net-snmp appears to read 
/proc/net/if_inet6 and assume interface names are 8 characters or fewer. 
However the limit for interface names is 16 characters currently on 
linux (as far as I can see)

I've attached a workaround patch.

Cheers
