Earlier versions used the agent-addr from the PDU. I removed this
feature when I took a more serious look at SNMPv2 traps which do not
have this address field anymore. So I decided to use the address from
the IP address since this works the same for all SNMP versions. I
recently got another complain about this behaviour and I changed the
code now so that it will use the agent-addr field on SNMPv1 handles
and the IP address for SNMPv2. I expect that people will later wonder
why SNMPv1 traps are handled differently from SNMPv2 but I think it is
currently the most practical solution. (Perhaps we should bring this
up in the SNMPv2 group so that they can define a MIB object which can
be used to send the address of the trap generating agent in SNMPv2.)
