2.15 had some funkiness with certain devices that misbehaved in odd ways
- sorry that I don't recall the details precisely.  You might try
grabbing the latest SNMP_Session.pm, SNMP_util.pm, and BER.pm from
http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/snmp/perl/ or google code.

Or, you might have to set the flags for avoid_negative_request_ids or
use_16bit_request_ids in SnmpOptions[].
