It's usually symptomatic of having "stale" or otherwise incompatible 
libraries dynamically linked to new programs. One example can be trying 
to run binaries built on 7.x on a 6.x system.

I'd recommend rebuilding your application (snmpd) *and* all dependencies 
it has, e.g. "portupgrade -R snmpd".
