[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#531056: leaks memory when vlan subinterfaces present

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-12
Severity: normal

lenny's snmpd leaks memory when VLAN subinterfaces are present. For example,
machines here with 13 VLAN subints leak about 200mbytes of memory every
couple of weeks. Other amd64 machines without VLAN subints do not leak.

The observed behavior is similar to #510495 (default install of snmpd leaks
memory when VLAN interfaces present), but the fix for etch's snmpd isn't
applicable to lenny's snmpd, so I figure the leak is different.

This version of net-snmp is also in sid, so I'm currently trying the latest
upstream release (5.4.2.1) to see if it's any different.
