[tkined] mib unpack returns invalid value

Hello,
    Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding something?

I have a mib object that is indexed by ATM address (
20bytes). something like...

        AtmAddr ::= OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..20))

    When I do a [ Tnm::mib unpack $oid], the value
returned is a hexadecimal concatenation of the MIB
octets from the PDU. Which is what you would expect!
    But the bytes are all truncated that is, what
should be 0x0F comes out as 0xF.
    I was able to make a change to the formatOctetTC
function so that case 'x' triggers a %.2lx format
command instead of just %lx ( i may not have all the
code right I dont have it in front of me). This works
for now.
     But, I am fairly new to c and I am wondering what
kind of problems this may introduce?

Thanks for your time,
Tim
