A crash _inside_ libsmi is not really acceptable; smiRenderOID should
return NULL if it can't do what the caller wants. So I created a sample
MIB and a little program to test this (see attachment) and I found
where things go wrong.
Attached is a patch which causes smiRenderOID() to render the OID
as a sequence of numbers in case it is called with SMI_RENDER_NAME
or SMI_RENDER_QUALIFIED and the label of the node is not known. But
this might not be the right thing to do; it might be better to
fail by returning NULL so that the caller gets control of what
should happen. On the other hand, we always append numeric OIDs.
