This is something that we have been dealing with as well. Whenever
the database becomes unavailable, (once it was a switch that died, once
it was a hard drive, etc..) the radius server segfaults. Sometimes it
does so immediately, and sometimes when the connection is
re-established. This has been the case with version 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6
and some CVS versions in between. I never did have enough time to track
it down, so we've just been running a keepalive script so that when it
dies, it comes back up. I could (when doing testing before) reproduce
this at will by bringing the connection to the database down, and
sending queries to the radius server. This was the case with both the
postgres and oracle modules anyway.
Hope that helps,
