This means that for some reason, os_mibs is trying to reregister
its MIB subtrees after it has already done so.

This is expected 'unwinding', the -2 indicates a failed registration.
os_mibs now sleeps 30 seconds and reestablishes its protocol state w/snmpd.
Since it has already initiated communications, the first step will be to
'close' its current state.

And here we see the close msg being received and logged by snmpd.
The reason code of 103 is due to a bug in libesnmp.so I just discovered
thanks to this note!
It appears that things continue on their merry way, os_mibs having
reconnected w/ snmpd.  Is that correct?  
The question is what kicks off the whole thing?
Are they shutting down or somehow signalling os_mibs?
Is this all that's in the log?  
Is anything happening on these once a month times?
    
Thanks,
Mike
