Read my lips. snmptrap *DOES NOT OPEN* snmpd.conf! You can write
anything you like in that file and it won't affect the operation of
snmptrap.

I posit that if you perform the following command:

snmptrap -v 1 -m ALL -c public \
135.36.115.62:162 .1.3.6.1.6.3169.254.1.1 127.128.129.130 6 1 20071105

you won't receive anything on the target machine either.

Also, please try these commands in a console and not from within your
program as they normally logs to standard output/error as they are
intended to be interactive. There are flags to redirect the logs to
other places. These are also described in the manual.
