RE: Enterprise trapquestion/send_v2trap API call

Thanks Mike - as it turns out, it was an initialization problem in the
AgentX agent. 

I modified the test program I wrote yesterday (based on notification.c)
to send our trap OID, and the receivers did receive the trap. While
debugging, I noticed that there were some initialization steps that were
occurring with the test AgentX program that weren't happening with my
AgentX code (based on the debug output). Long story short, we were
bailing during init, which prevented SNMP from correctly initializing
the agent. When we later made the SNMP API call to send the trap, the
code was truly falling into a black hole, because the agent never
completed init. The init routine has been fixed, and the traps are being
sent out correctly.

Thanks again!

	Note that this *notification* can not be converted to v1 format.
If your target receiver is listed as v1, this will never be sent.  Could
that be your problem?


	HTH,

Mike
