[Pkg-zenoss-team] Bug#471980: python-pynetsnmp: get hangs in snmp_read on amd64

[John Kozak]

Package: python-pynetsnmp
Version: 0.28.6-1
Severity: normal

Get intermittent hangs (ctrl-c proof) in code using pynetsnmp on
amd64.  I believe it's caused by this:

netsnmp.py line 498:
  MAXFD = 1024
  fdset = c_long * (MAXFD/32)

this assumes each element of fdset is 32 bits.  But on amd64, c_long
is 8 bytes.  Replacing c_long with c_uint32 seems to fix this problem.
