[SNMP4J] Behaviour of ResponseListener in SNMP V3

Hi Frank,
The PDU instance is not used in another thread, only in this one. All
normal functionality works properly (we started to use async requests
1.5 years ago), except for this timeout due to a wrong security name
being used. I'm not sure whether that is a new regression or
something that wasn't tested before by our test team.
I'm not sure which further information I have to give, I can't provide
the full source code as this is a proprietary product. If you want me
to debug something specific I can do that.
Best regards,
Peter.
