Has anyone ran across this issue while updating to the latest SNMP 
packages for USN-685-1?  Specifically Gutsy (7.10)?

It appears the upgrade takes and snmpd and snmptrapd startup fine, 
however the post install get stuck and goes zombie...

root     22000 21988  0 19:14 pts/1    00:00:00  | 
  \_ [snmpd.postinst] <defunct>

Not sure if this is specific to my box so any help would be much 
appreciated.  I have yet to try this on my Hardy (8.04) and Intrepid 
(8.10) boxes yet for fear it will behave in the same manor.

Thanks.
