Is there any good FAQs on how radius client really works on PM ??

I mean there are some nasty features (or bugs --??) of PM radius client.
And I would like to know more about them and to know why these things do
occur from time to time.

For example, would anyone please tell me how could happen what is
described below (look at a great number of duplicate entries of a
session where Acct-Session-Id = "2D003977"):
