    Sorry Folks, I made a mistake.  I did not have the mib in front of
    me.

    According to RFC1156 - MIB I, 

    sysDescr = { system 1 }
    sysObjectId = { system 2 }
    sysUpTime = { system 3 }

    Therefore

    getnext sysDescr.0    returns  sysObjectId.0 = ......
    getnext sysObjectId.0 returns  sysUpTime.0 = 12345

    because of the lexicographical orderings.  

    Sorry for any confusion

    Jack
