Thanks Eric,
I tried making that change to my agent, but it didn't work.
Looks like it's part of the solution to my problem but is in conjunction
with some bugfixes that were made to 5.3.1 in CVS. In particular, a
problem in 5.3.1 when trying to use the ASN_PRIV_IMPLIED_OCTET_STR
scheme on an index that is not the last of multipe indices:

Guess I'm going to have to do some patching on my 5.3.1 from CVS, or
migrate to 5.4.
