Lovely, can you get a clean backtrace please? I'm honestly not sure what the heck it's doing.

How do I create one? Can I make the kernel make the program dump core instead of doing the floating-point assist?

I have no idea, never been even _near_ an IA64.

reading the ia64 traps code, i don't think so.  look at the faulting ip and find out where in the snmpd binary that is originating.  you might have to look at /proc/<snmpd pid>/maps to turn the absolute IP into an offset into the code.

My Itanium machines began to show hardware failures a while ago. I don't use them anymore.
