Very minor comment (entirely cosmetic): it would probably be good
practice to check trap_state != TRAP_STATE_INACTIVE rather than just
trap_state.  Does the following look reasonable?  In fact, it might
be even more logical just to check for PRIMED.

With hindsight, "primed" isn't a great choice of word, it doesn't
indicate what state we are actually at in trap processing, but without
following this all through in more detail I wouldn't like to suggest
another.  (And the resulting
TRAP_STATE_WE_DID_THIS_BUT_WE_HAVENT_YET_DONE_THIS_BECAUSE_WERE_WAITING_FOR_THIS
might not be any better...)
