--- Comment #3 from monstruooo <oskars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>  2009-10-05 02:20:10 PDT ---
These are results from smilint:

1)  Errors tolerated by many implementations: "mibs/EMS-TRAPS-MIB.txt:78: [3]
{revision-missing} revision for last update is missing"

2) Warnings, in most cases recommended to be changed: many "must be contained
in at least one conformance group" errors.

I guess the errors reported by wireshark belong to the warnings. I should say
that I don't think this is correct behavior. First, because it was fine in
Ethereal. It's fine with HP OpenView too. Second, a sniffer should not be so
sensitive. Sniffers should be able to parse as much as possible. Their function
is to parse and to not enforce 100% compliance with some arcane rules of
writing MIBs.
