Hi,

I've been successfully using Net-SNMP with traps for years.

However, I just noticed something troubling when snmptrapd 5.1.2 is 
processing traps on Cent-OS, kernel 2.6.9-55.0.6.EL.  I am processing 
the traps using a python script to create files in the /tmp 
directory, for later work in another process.  My application 
sometimes gets 4 or 5 traps at full network speed.  The time stamps 
of the /tmp files are not in chronological order by when the trap was 
issued.  They seem to be in random order, although they seem to clump 
in reverse chronological order.  I have analyzed the snmptrapd 
entries in syslog and have confirmed those are in chronological order.

Is this by design?

Harry
