Problem Description: 

4108616 
After sending a event request to a proxy system which 
is not reachable (over a routing system) at this time 
you get the error message
"RPC timed out: no response from portmapper on <ip-addr.> -retrying"
From this point the request state in event summary is "awaiting activation" 
and all following quick dumps (i.e. snmp-mibII.ifStatus.4) on 
devices or systems which are reachable shows:
Error: Request snmp-mibII.ifStatus.4: 
API error: Remote procedure call failed: Cannot send request: 
RPC: Can't encode arguments
