>Description:
Discovered in the check_snmp plugin of the netsaint-plugins port. If you either query multiple OIDS or specify a -w or -c option it exits with:
check_snmp in free(): warning: chunk is already free
check_snmp in realloc(): warning: chunk is already free
in strscat, which is in util.c of netsaint-plugins package.
This looks like a "it's written for Linux" problem. See the following message for another person seeing this problem on OpenBSD:

>How-To-Repeat:
Install netsaint-plugins port, call the check_snmp plugin with multiple OIDS and either -c or -w specified.
>Fix:
Not a programmer, but I'm betting this is one of those common linux->freebsd porting issues.
