Sadly, it's not a bug.

It's a feature!!!

It's a long standing issue. precedence for net-snmp, which is quite
unique to our package, is in order (1 being trumped by 2):

1) short command line arguments
2) config files
3) long command line arguments (which are config file tokens prefixed
by --).

IE, add --oidOutputFormat=WHATEVER to your command line and you'll
find it overrides the config file.
