As an experiment, I built Ethereal on a stock RH 6.2 system, then
downgraded the SNMP package to the version that comes with RH 6.1.
Ethereal ran without a hitch, so executables built with the newer library
would appear to be backward compatible.

An RPM built against the newer library can be found at
http://ethereal.zing.org/~gerald/ethereal-0.8.9-2.i386.rpm .  Andy, if you
haven't already upgraded your SNMP libraries, could you try the new RPM
and let me know if it works?  If it does, and if Henri doesn't have any
objections, I'd like to move it to the RPM distribution directory.
