[RADIATOR] Could not bind Server TACACSPLUS socket: Address already in use

Hi guys,
we had the issue that our Radiator process was running but the TACACS
socket on port 49 wasn't listening.
It turned out that a restart caused this because either debians
start-stop-daemon or the init script doesn't wait until the process is
really gone and Radiator is started while the old process still has the
socket open.
A quick fix is a sleep 1; between stop and start in restart but I find
that ugly.
Do you have a better suggestion?

Radiator logged 'ERR: Could not bind Server TACACSPLUS socket: Address
already in use' to its logfile but still started, I'd suggest that such
a fatal startup error results in Radiator dieing with this error message.

What do you thing about that change?
