I have encountered a problem when using the Perl SNMP 1.8 package
under the newly release FreeBSD 3.2.

When I run the perl program:

	#!/usr/local/bin/perl
	#
	use SNMP;
	#
	# Initialize some variables.
	#
	$ENV{"MIBDIRS"} = "/dev/null";
	
	print "pt0\n";
	$obj = new SNMP::Session(DestHost => "u352-bcr-1", Community => "public");
	print "pt1\n";
	$obj = new SNMP::Session(DestHost => "u352-bcr-2", Community => "public");
	print "pt2\n";

I get the warning message:

	newhost: {135} ./x.pl
	pt0
	pt1
	perl in free(): warning: chunk is already free.
	pt2
	perl in free(): warning: chunk is already free.

This error message appears whenever you try to open another session.
I don't see this error message under FreeBSD 3.1.  The software versions
being run are:

  FreeBSD newhost.cpf.navy.mil 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #0: Tue May 18 04:05:08 GMT 1999     jkh@cathair:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

  This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd

  Perl5 SNMP Extension Module v1.8

I suspect that the warning message is caused by a change in FreeBSD 3.2
but on the other hand it might just be catching an error that was always
present.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
