Two weeks later and upgraded to 1.4U and this still happens.  I don't
get it.  Someone suggested that you get that error if you have the wrong
command line but this is in a script that has been running flawlessly
for months up to now.  In any case, here is the command in case anyone
sees something wrong with it.

snmpget -q -v 1 <machine@domain> <password> interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.17423

without any options I get the same error.
