In case anyone's using the custom patch, I'll post a small update here.

If the key into the database is not a simple integer, then the matching
logic would fail.  This happens if the key is an IP address.  The fix is
to allow multiple integers for the OID arc.

My test scenario is the per-client NFS stats provided by NetApp (TM,
etc) filers under the pclTable OID.
