[SNMP4J] Problem listening to SNMP v3 traps

[Frank Fock]

Hi Pedro,

The Java logger probably wrote the output to stderr.
You then need to redirect stderr to stdout to see it
on the console.

The warning says, that a PDU type has been received
that either does not exists or is not compatible with
the SNMP protocol version used or the operation mode
of the application.

Best regards,
Frank
