[erlang-patches] SNMP: fix wrong error code for invalid get requests

[Stefan Zegenhagen]

Dear all,

when an SNMP get request references an existing scalar variable without
instance OID (e.g. sysName instead of sysName.0), the erlang SNMP agent
returns a noSuchObject error instead of the correct noSuchInstance
error. Some SNMP test suites flag this as error.

The patch attached to this e-mail solves the problem by letting the OID
lookup routine return the correct noSuchInstance error.

Kind regards,
