Subject: ucd-snmp - arbitrary query ?

Morning all,
    I have a strange thing going on with ucd-snmp-4.2.5-8.73.1 on redhat 
7.3.

    My snmpd.conf is configured as so ( very simple ):

    ## snmpd.conf
    rocommunity  my_snmp_string dest_ip_address

    syscontact "cdowns@...ppingdead.com"
    syslocation "linux_box_x closet"

    # eof

    now I thought that this machine would only talk to dest_ip_address 
with ro permissions, Now for some reason when I query from another 
machine on the network:

    snmpwalk linux_box_x -c public

    I get a partial snmp response and the its hangs till the connection 
finally drops.

    If i specify -c 1 my_snmp_string as you normally would with snmpwalk 
I get no response, This is what I expect to happen from an arbitrary 
ipaddress.

    Anyone have any ideas why ucd-snmp would do this ?? There may be 
something I dont understand but this is definately not right.

    I know ive seen ucd-snmp threads on system.sys errors and this is 
where its dying as well.. maybe its still lingering around.
