Then the problem, as a new user, might be a conceptual one.  And it
could be that I need to RTFM.  I mean, there could be one of the
received trap parameters that simply states: 'please do not mind these
traps, I'm only listing them now' which would differentiate these traps
from real status changes later on.  

If that's the case then it's easy to add to the automatic testing of
units.  If not, then a 'magical' timeout has to be used before starting
the tests.

Thanks for any comments, it's appreciated.

I've made several tests, although I'm quite certain that it was not in
the config at the moment.  What's strange is that in the same sway
there'll be traps with the ifIndex and the two others and then without,
only (milli)seconds away.  

Cheers.
