Hmmm,  2872348672 == 0xAB349000 ...
Looks like this problem could have to do with signed integers.

I wouldn't know if this is an SNMP_util problem or that the OID is wrong.

Instead of correcting the problem (which you can't or else you wouldn't ask
this question) you may want to work around it:

   Inside MRTG:
      Target[SVVIE4_CPU]: `get_cpu_for svvie4 public`

   and a script called "get_cpu_for":

      #!/bin/bash
      A=`snmpget $1 $2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.71.200.2.1.3.1.5.1.2872348672 \
      | sed 's/^.*"//;s/\%.*$//'`
      B=`snmpget $1 $2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.71.200.2.1.3.1.5.1.2872348673 \
      | sed 's/^.*"//;s/\%.*$//'`
      echo $A
      echo $B
      echo some time
      echo $1

Todo: check (and correct, if necessary) the script. Build in some error
checking.
