Troubleshoot Delays in SNMP Trap Sender

I'm finding that traps are arriving at my trap receiver 8 hours after the alert occurs in Nagios. I don't suspect problems at the receiver because other sources are working fine. Can you get me started in how to look for the trouble?

Just making sure, this is the trap sender component forwarding traps to some 3rd party system, right? If so, see below.
From my notes:
To enable logging of traps sent, edit the following php file ad add -Lf /usr/local/nagios/var/snmptrap.log to snmptrapsenderfunction.
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/snmptrapsender/snmptrapsender.inc.php

One thing is certain; the packets aren't wandering around for 8 hours. They will die after a few milliseconds. I'd look for a time or timezone issue.
