That's pretty definitely an error. The data received is larger than
the packet!
UDP packets should only come one at a time. If more than one UDP
packet is read at a time, then I don't know what's going on.

Hmm... and other RADIUS servers don't see them? If you use tcpdump,
do the packets look reasonable?

Use tcpdump, and see if the packets on the wire are reasonable.

I've *never* seen this before. I don't know how to even begin
tracking down the problem.
