Subject: PROBLEM using tnm library direct from C/C++

I have built the tnm library directly into my C++ agent. I am using this
simply for MIB knowledge (eg Name <-> OID translation).

The library seems to work well. Use Tnm_MibParse() to load all the asn1
files to setup the internal tree. Then further use the various functions to
get the knowledge from the mib. eg. Tnm_MibGetOid(char *name) to convert a
MIB name to an OID etc etc....

PROBLEM
- ---------------

I want to use the library to convert OID back into name (to find the names
of traps received for example).

I use the function Tnm_MibGetName(char *oid) for this, but it seems to
return NULL every time??? Is there a bug here or am I not using this
correctly.

Here is an example of how I am using the functions:

Tnm_MibGetOid("sysDescr.0", 0) this returns "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"
Works!!!!

Tnm_MibGetName("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0", 0) returns NULL. Fails!!!!!

Is this a known bug? If not what am I doing wrong?
