(RADIATOR) Make Radiator working with PPTPD

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jon -

The latest versions of Radiator no longer cause Perl to crash when  
this happens - instead you get the message shown below in the  
Radiator log file.

The current version is Radiator 3.13 (plus patches).

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
