(RADIATOR) Radiator dying

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jamie -

As you say, we will need to see a copy of your configuration file (no 
secrets) together with a trace 4 debug from Radiator showing what is 
happening as well as the output from Perl when the crash occurs.

One possibility I can think of is that you are receiving an MS-CHAP 
request and the Digest-MD4 module is not installed.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
