** Tags added: apport-collected saucy

** Description changed:

  According to RFC 2790 the hrSWInstalledIndex should start at 1:
  
    hrSWInstalledIndex OBJECT-TYPE
         SYNTAX     Integer32 (1..2147483647)
         MAX-ACCESS read-only
         STATUS     current
         DESCRIPTION
             "A unique value for each piece of software installed
             on the host.  This value shall be in the range from 1
             to the number of pieces of software installed on the
             host."
         ::= { hrSWInstalledEntry 1 }
  
  
  However, when grabbing the hrSWInstalledTable, my first entry is at index 0.
  Example:
  $ snmpbulkget -v2c -c public -Cn1 -Cr1 -ObentU localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3
  .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.1.0 = INTEGER: 0
  
  For a CentOS 6 host the behavior is according to spec:
  $ snmpbulkget -v2c -c public -Cn1 -Cr1 -ObentU centos6_srv.example.com 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3
  .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.1.1 = INTEGER: 1
  
  I found this issue while trying to read HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunPerfTable with pysnmp, but kept getting an exception:
  ConstraintsIntersection(ConstraintsIntersection(ConstraintsIntersection(), ValueRangeConstraint(-2147483648, 2147483647)), ValueRangeConstraint(1, 2147483647)) failed at: "ValueRangeConstraint(1, 2147483647) failed at: "0"" at Integer32
