Hello everybody, 

I'm not very sure this is the correct place to ask, in case it's not
please point me to the correct place. 

>From time to time my BSNMPD instance randomly crash without any apparent
reason. 

It happens on different machines and different FreeBSD releases. It
happened tonight as well on one of our servers. Usually I just delete
the bsnpmd.core file and restart the service, but I thought there may be
someone interested in looking at the core to understand what the reason
may be? 

The bsnmpd daemon is in a private network so malicious stuff is not the
case, and is used by a central Cacti instance to do usual graphs to
monitor cpus, disks, memory, lan cards and whatever. 

The servers usually have high uptimes and quite solid network traffic.
The core file is 1.3GB with seems pretty a lot to me, so maybe it died
because it's leaking memory? 

If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me otherwise I'll
just delete it :-)
