Using the November 1998 beta of scotty 3 to test against my own SNMPv3
implementation, I run into a

The scotty, in the role of command generator, specifies a
maxSizeResponseScopedPDU (the value is 2048) in a request. My
implementation, as command responder, produces a response where the
ScopedPDU is less than 2048, but the entire message is slightly larger
(2070 bytes). Scotty complains:

msgLen 2048, msgSeqLen 2066, plus 4

Says the snmpv3 architecture document:

3.4.1. maxSizeResponseScopedPDU

The maxSizeResponseScopedPDU is the maximum size of a scopedPDU that
a PDU's sender would be willing to accept. Note that the size of a
scopedPDU does not include the size of the SNMP message header.

I think scotty 3 needs a minor fix here.
