I have a feeling that this is related to the 64-bit counter emulation. 
Could you please tell me what interfaces you have in that machine and on 
what speed they are running? Have you set any of the begemot* variables 
for MIB-2 in snmpd.conf (especially the polling related ones)? Maybe 
just send me the snmpd.conf?
