Symptoms

SNMP requests for the MADMAN mib, which are handled by the madmand subagent process, are slow and/or the madmand process exits, which causes the SNMP master agent to dump core.

Also, messages like these in the /var/adm/messages file:

Note that although the process name in the messages above is "net-snmp", the process id is that of the madmand process, so the above messages are coming from madmand.
