The value of the 'time-field' field of the v1 trap PDU, and the sysUpTime.0
varbind of SNMPv2-format notifications are provided by the trap generator
(i.e. the agent).  So this should be a consistent value - regardless of the
number of trap destinations.

  But note that this is a 'sysUpTime' value, rather than an actual timestamp.
The timestamps that appear in a typical unix log file will be supplied by
the trap receiver (or syslog system).
