What you have committed does that:
+do
+{
+   $suggestion = int(8000 + rand(2000));
+} while (grep(/^$suggestion$/, @{$oids}));
So it would be possible to get 9998-9999 as suggestion.  In which
case, one can basically finish with this message:
Suggested random unused OID: 9999 (1 consecutive OID(s) available
starting here)

Wouldn't it be better to keep some room at the end of the allowed
array?  Or at least avoid suggesting ranges where there is less than
3-5 OIDs available consecutively.
