Attached is a program I am seeing problems with (uses boost for filesystem-related tasks). Put "mibs" directory under same directory as executable, and remove all "RFC-" prefixed mibs from ietf directory. The program crashes on my machine at PPP-LCP-MIB. I would expect it to have returned a NULL-ptr with a log message on call of smiGetModule(), however it returns a valid pointer and then crashes on subsequent call to smiGetFirstNode().

Jonathan,
since it remains unclear what exactly you are doing, there is no way to provide any more concrete feedback.

Thanks for the response. I had assumed it was an issue with something along those lines, though I was surprised to see it results in undefined behavior instead of return of a NULL ptr (or similar). Also I was surprised to see no logs during loading of the "problematic", as it was much more difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the crash since the actual loading was successful. No troubles, just figured I'd point it out and see if there is motivation behind the lack of error handling?

It tends to crash at attempt to traverse nodes of a mib which uses IMPORTS of an RFC- prefixed mib. Though I understand how missing dependencies could cause problems loading/traversing a mib, I'm not sure I understand why it's crashing and no error logs are present.
IMPORTS are important for properly loading a MIB module. If some IMPORTS are absent, you may end with incomplete data structures.
