Correct.
What actually happens is that the agent sets up an alarm, which is triggered
regularly and interrupts the normal operation of the agent (i.e. waiting for
incoming requests).
   This alarm calls the code which checks the variable and (if appropriate)
sends the trap.

  The the routine 'mteTrigger_enable()' (in disman/event/mteTrigger.c)
