It crashes on my Debian linux system, also NET SNMP 4.2.3. It fails
in read_objid in the snmp library, which is called from sprint_obj(),
which we call in packet-snmp.c

According to the NET SNMP website, version 4.2.3 is not supposed to
contain the vulnerability bug.

You don't happen to be running Debian Linux too, do you?
