You did not define the context object identifier using the -context
option. This is required in SNMPv2CLASSIC. Scotty tries to check if
a context is defined, but unfortunately the check dumps core. :-(

As I said a few days ago, the SNMPv2CLASSIC stuff is a dead horse. We
have implemented authentication without complete time synchronization.
Scotty talks SNMPv2CLASSIC with the ISODE agent and the CMU agent.

I would recommend that you switch to scotty-2.0.1/tcl7.4/tk4.0 (tk4.0
is just needed for the event loop) as soon as possible as there are a
number of SNMP related bugs that were fixed over the last 9 months.
And the core dump described above wil be fixed in the next patch.
