Or, if you want it to work just like in 6.0.3,
create a file in /usr/OV/bin called

netnmrc.pre

with one line in it:

export AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters=disable

and bring netview down and back up and then trapd
will quit putting those annoying \ characters into
the varbind data.

Oops!  Was I not supposed to reveal this secret???
