I understand why you suggest this, but I prefer to fix it instead of
spending time to add warning messages for things like this. Note that
this problem has already been fixed in the UNIX straps forwarder. All
I need to do is to rework the session configuration options, which
will include some minor incompatibilities. The tricky part is that
every change to a trap port option requires to re-bind to a new straps
daemon. I hope that this will part of 2.2.0.
