Stress (?) fault in straps

I've got a mildly reproducible fault in straps I'm probably
going to work to isolate next week. This is the most clear-
cut manifestation: Scotty2.1.5 under Solaris 2.5: sometimes
after heavy trap loads, straps seems to "seize". I mean by
that a couple of different symptoms: a new snmp session
requested to bind a trap handler will never return; and ex-
isting bindings superficially are OK, and seem to be in
communication with straps, but in fact they never receive
packets.

I think I can make it happen under other OSs. I'm sure it's
real; I've been observing it on and off for months. Ideal
would be for some reader to report that a diagnosis and fix
have already been identified. I haven't noticed any mention
of this since the release of 2.1.5, though, so I assume I'll
have to do it myself. The purpose of this notice in that
case would be just to alert others to what's coming.
