ACK, will do "next time" ;)

Since I was using the FreeBSD port I was under the assumption that the
FreeBSD bugreport-framework ("filing a PR") would suffice so I skipped
this file :(

Oh, did not know this either.

Yeah, we're restarting the server now instead of HUPing - works just as
well.

Thanks for your efforts David, I really appreciate it. However,
mysql-support was not as critical as assumed for our needs so we're now
using simple flat files to hold the userdata (which in turn are getting
updated by a script dumping extracting information from a MySQL db).
Out of curiousity I'll probably follow the hints in the bugs file,
update openssl if possible and see what it gives...and report back to
the freeradius.org.
thanks again,
Christian.
