You probably started radwatch after you already had a running radiusd.
radwatch doesn't check this and fails to start up radiusd, sending a
message in the process. This is repeated every 10 seconds until the
initial radiusd is killed or dies. radwatch uses 'mail -s "Radius
died..." to send the email message. Under Solaris (I'm not sure about
other OS), -s is an invalid option to mail and the message thus has an
empty subject line. Change to 'mailx' and the message will come through
correctly.
