[SNMP4J] Problem listening to SNMP v3 traps

[Pedro Franceschi]

Hi,

I have been using SNMP4J for a while. So far I had only tried SNMPv1 
features. Now, I started dealing with SNMPv3 and there is no way I could 
be able to listen to SNMPv3 traps. At the end, I followed every single 
line of code in the examples and still I can only receive v1 traps. As a 
last resource (to check if my code was wrong), I used the SnmpRequest 
class to listen to v3 traps, which gave me the following output:

Every time a traps were sent, only v1 traps were recognized. I am sure 
SNMPv3 traps work on the target system im working on because I tested with 
another 3rd party SNMP application and it worked. The OID form the WARNING 
belongs to: snmpUnknownPDUHandlers. I am wondering if that means that the 
v3 PDU sent was not recognized. If this is true, then what is the problem? 
I appreciate you help in advance.
