I have a network device that replies to
Simple Network Management Protocol
    version: v2c (1)
    community: public
    data: getBulkRequest (5)
        getBulkRequest
            non-repeaters: 0
            max-repetitions: 126
with
Simple Network Management Protocol
    version: v2c (1)
    community: public
    data: get-response (2)
        get-response
            error-status: genErr (5)
            error-index: 1
Based on my understanding of the RFC this is a valid error code, and your SNMP code should back off to a smaller max-repetitions. Instead, we're just seeing an error on discovery that never goes away.
This seems to have been introduced some time between 4 and 6 as I have recently upgraded.
