AW: (RADIATOR) Make Radiator working with PPTPD

It's not radiator that's doing the crashing, it's perl .... calling for a module not in the library, and perl goes down during the precompile.... (Crashed our setup once... but at least it's dropping an error message, and the error is easily fixed :-)

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.
