Great detective work, Brad. If the PortMaster isn't honoring the
RADIUS "standard" then it may be hard for ANY server to "not screw
up" (although I'd like to convince myself that we've done everything
we can to avoid core dumps, etc., even if the NAS looses its mind).

I plan to look into this today -- time permitting...
