(RADIATOR) Simultaneous-Use issue

Hello Jamie -

What you describe is the normal Radiator processing. Radiator tries  
to be self-healing in case of lost accounting stop records by doing a  
delete when an access request is received. This presumes of course  
that your access requests contain sensible data.

If you can send me a copy of your configuration file and a trace 4  
debug showing what is happening, I will take a look.

regards

Hugh
