[tkined] SNMP set error in tkined

I have Scotty 2.1.9/Tkined 1.4.9 installed on a Sun system under
Solaris 2.5.1, with Tcl 8.05 and Tk 8.05. Under Tkined's SNMP Browser
tool, I set the community name to the appropriate value for our managed
hub, then bring up the MIB-2 "edit System" dialog box. When I try and
change any of sysContact, sysName or sysLocation and hit "set scalars", I
get an error from tkined:

Set on sysLocation.0 failed: unknown type "DisplayString"

for any of the text fields. I've found that I can set IP address
fields, but nothing else.

If I bring up Scotty, I can establish an SNMP session to the same hub
and successfully set DisplayString fields in the same hub with the same
write community name.

Any ideas on what causes this? I saw the same behavior with Scotty
2.1.6/Tkined 1.4.6 and Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2, before I upgraded to the
current versions.
