Summary: check_snmp processes wrong numeric part of response

Initial Comment:
check_snmp returns the first numeric part of the response, not necessarily the returned value, when a MIB is in use and leaf name includes digits.
Checked on Debian Squeeze i386 with packaged version, and trunk, same problem.
