This reminds me of a problem we had somewhat recently.  A misguided user 
set their PC up to connect using MS-CHAP2 authentication.  We don't 
generally do CHAP, as we don't generally store clear text passwords, but 
the request came in via outsourced dial ports that allowed chap.  When our 
radiator found that it couldn't handle MS-CHAP2 due to lack of 
Digest/MD4.pm, it logged a similar error message and terminated.

Is that normal, unavoidable behavior, or is that something that's perhaps 
been fixed (log the error, fail the auth request, but don't terminate) in 
more recent versions?  We're not exactly running the latest code.
