About the only thing I can possibly thing of (and it's fairly
improbable) is that if the time/date on the server has been changed
since that SNMP process was started and it's thrown any sort of time
keeping that the SNMP process might do/bad handling of time/negative
numbers etc.

*Clutches at straws*
