But is the -Drun output prefixed by "run:shell" or
"run:exec" ?   That *is* useful information
(which is why I asked for it! :-))

Checking the source, the 5.1.x line seems to use
"run_exec_command" to execute trap handlers,
while the 5.2.x line uses "run_shell_command".

The most significant difference lies in the handling
of shell-builtins (like "echo" and output redirection).
As in:
   run_shell_command  takes note of these,
   run_exec_command doesn't.


I'm a little more confused as to why the touch command
didn't work, but it might be worth trying with:

   a)  the 5.2.1 version of snmptrapd,
or
   b)  a binary command (*not* a shell script)
           as the trap handler.
