I've just tried this with both the current development code,
and the 5.2.x line.   In both cases, the agent sends the trap
immediately, with no engine probe.

I don't have a 5.1.x version immediately accessible, but I
seem to remember something being added a while back to
delay the engine probe for an SNMPv3 session until it
was actually needed.   So I suspect that this problem has
indeed been fixed in later releases.

Please note that the 5.1.x line was closed down about two
years ago.   We would *strongly* recommend that you
upgrade to a more recent version.
