Describe the bug

Querying an OpenBSD system causes the plugin to hang and eventually timeout attempting to obtain the first set of MIBs.
I don't think this issue is related to adding SHA-256 auth support.

The same exact query works with my Linux based systems.

Here is the output of snmpbulkget on the specific OID's being queried when it hangs.

curious, on linux I would ask for trying that with strace to see where this is hanging.
Is there an equivalent tool on *bsd?

I think ktrace might be the tool for that. I'll try that. I'm using OpenBSD's native SNMP daemon, too, not Net-SNMP, which might have something to do with it.

[jwillikers]

Okay, I've run ktrace on the snmpd process on the OpenBSD system while running the hanging query. Here's both the debug output of the process and the trace dump.

Sorry, for the delay. I had a look at the logs, but I can't find any good hint.
