Hi all,

I attempted to walk the etherStatsTable of a Netscout somewhere on
my net; said Netscout is normally managed by its management app.

The output came back, then I get the following message:

bgerror failed to handle background error.
Original error: invalid command name "840163127"
Error in bgerror: grab failed: another application has grab

Concurrently a dialog box pops up to say 'invalid command name "840163127"'.
Dismissing the dialog brings up another, ad nausem. The number thought
of as the "command name" changes.

Turns out this number is the content of an etherStatsOwner.<index>
entry, like "netadmin@netman [840163126]". Looks like Scotty is
trying to evaluate the string in the [] brackets? Any quick fix?

Cheers.
