That's certainly what I'd expect to happen, yes.

Nope - you appear to be quite correct.

It's mostly handled in 'snmp_trap.c' and
'mibgroup/notifications/snmpNotifyTable.c'
If you follow the code through, it ends up calling
'send_trap_to_sess()' (in snmp_trap.c), which invokes
the usual snmp_synch_response() call to send an
inform notification.  That ought to look after the
retries automatically.


This looks suspiciously like a bug.  I suggest you
log it with the bug tracker, so that it doesn't get
forgotten.
