[AGENT++] [SNMP++] Trap Receiver Problem

at least the snmptrap from net-snmp 5.4rc2 tries to save its boot 
counter in /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf. As soon as I allowed write 
access to this file, the boot counter is increased with every call. 
Unfortunately snmptrap _appends_ with each run 700 bytes to this file...

You could modify the snmp++ snmpTraps.cpp example for your needs.
