I tracked this down to probably being a multiple thread issue.
The mail loop which calls the API: agent_check_and_process() is in the main
process.
The call to sendTrap2 is in a thread.
What I see is the sendTrap2 logic is making the request to the snmpd, and
before it can put the request on the isp->requests list
the response is coming back into the main process loop and being process,
but since the isp->requests has not been updated, it becomes an un handled
PDU.
The sendTrap2 logic adds it to the isp->requests list and the request
eventually times out and a second trap is sent, which works correctly
because it is sent
withing the main loop.
So I had to get the sending of the Trap to the main loop of the process.
Which required not calling agent_check_and_process(), but writing my own
select statement and processing the snmp socket FDs in it and opening a
listening socket which the trap thread could
send a message to generate a trap, on the main loop processing.
Hope this helps others, that might run into the same issue.
