Hi all,

We're running a couple of 3.3r boxes doing Radius auth. We use our own and
very modified source for Radius. This has been working quite well running
under 2.2.7 and 3.1.

Recently we'ce changed over to 3.3r and that's when the shit hit the fan :

Radius is only allowed to spawn 100 child processes. We've seen it happen
twice now that Radius *thinks* it has more then 100 childs running and
refuses any more connections while there are actually *none* except for
the father.

Somehow Radius is not receiving the sig child signal and is waiting for
one or more childs to die. Well, this might be a bug in our Radius source
code (and we're looking in to that) but what puzzles me is that it always
worked under 2.2.7 and 3.1.

Question : is anyone aware of any changes in the way sig child signals are
issued or handled under 3.3-r or possible someone has the same problems.
Let me know, last night all of our radius boxes died allmost at the same
time, leaving my NOC without any customer authentification :( This
happened twice now in one week and I'm NOT a happy bunny...
