It obviously wreaks havoc on the script. One possibility might be to use the 'outputOption' and/or 'format2' directives to control the format of how the trap is passed from snmptrapd to the traphandler script. In particular, if the varbinds are separated by new-line characters, then the traphandler parsing wouldn't need to be concerned with identifying colon separators. I haven't actually tried this, but it's worth investigating.
