Any chance of a patch to at least quiet this down? Or some additional info we can provide to try to fix the problem??

FWIW, this had been reported to upstream recently and a fix has been commited to their source tree:

There have been no official net-snmp relases since v5.7.3 (Dec 2014), but their commit log suggests that development is still active. So, upgrading to their latest version plus cherry picking the commit above should fix this.

Thank you for the report.

I verified that the commit referenced by Christian indeed seems to fix the issue. It has been present since version 5.8 of net-snmp, which is available from Focal onwards. For this reason, I am closing this bug as Fix Released.

Feel free to reopen it if you think this is still an issue, in which case we would kindly request that you provide a reproducer as well.

Thanks.
