Traps sent by Windows machine not recognized

Hi,

I am trying to use net-snmp 5.3.1 on a linux box to receive traps from various 
sources.  Everything seems fine for traps originating, for example, from a 
snmptrap command on another linux box, but when I generate a trap on a Windows 
XP machine (using the native Windows snmp services), I can see the trap reaching 
my linux net-snmp machine (e.g. through a tcpdump):

[root@gaia ~]# tcpdump -i eth0 host x.y.z.w and port 162
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
16:05:02.998217 IP iguest.x.y.z.solid-mux > gaia.x.y.z.snmptrap:  C=xxxx 
Trap(690)  E:311.1.13.1.8.83.101.99.117.114.105.116.121 x.y.z.w 
enterpriseSpecific s=528 [|snmp]

but snmptrapd doesn't seem to see it/interpret it correctly.  At least, I don't 
see anything in my syslog message file (while I do with traps generated from a 
linux-based snmptrap command, whether v1 or v2c).  My snmptrapd.conf file only 
contains:

authCommunity log,execute,net xxxx default

Any hint on what could be wrong or how to check further?

Thanks and regards

Jean-Paul
