I ran snmpd with logging and  -Dagentx. Here is the error message I am seeing:

agentx_build: packet built okay
agentx/master: FAILED 32 -12 Failure in sendto (Broken pipe)
agentx/master: handle pdu (req=0x49d28177,trans=0x0,sess=0xd)
agentx/master: in register_agentx_list
agentx/master: registered ok
agentx/master: send response, stat 0 (req=0x49d28177,trans=0x0,sess=0xd)
agentx_build: packet built okay
agentx/master: handle pdu (req=0x49d28177,trans=0x0,sess=0xd)
agentx/master: in register_agentx_list
netsnmp_assert !"registration != duplicate" failed
/tmp/gate/src/packages/net-snmp/agent/agent_registry.c:542
netsnmp_subtree_load()

This repeat several times. When all trap destinations are reachable,
this error message does not occur.
