[Bug 1541152] [NEW] segmentation fault when calling session.get() method

[pseudonomous]

Public bug reported:

I was hoping to use this python module to get retrieve a single OID from
a networked copy machine.

So I fired up ipython and did:

import netsnmp
session = netsnmp.Session(DestHost='my-copy-machine', SecName='supersecret', SecLevel='authPriv', AuthProto='SHA', AuthPass='supersecret', PrivProto='AES', PrivPass='supersecret')
# this produces quite a bit of output, I'll try and include it later.
vars = netsnmp.Varbind('1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1')
session.get(vars)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried this on a VM running 32 bit ubuntu and a laptop running 64
bit ubuntu.  (both running 14.04) same results.

Even if I'm misusing the API (which is possible, I've never used the
netsnmp python bindings before) I really don't think this should produce
a segfault.
