The 31-second delay wasn't obvious, because most RADIUS clients will
retry after a couple of seconds.  A packet trace will reveal that no
reply is sent to the first request, but the reject reply is sent
immediately after the retry.  Using 'radclient' with a really long
timeout revealed the 31-second delay.

I've sidestepped the immediate problem by turning off the
reject_delay, but I'll try to dig through the source if I can find
time.  (I'm wary of debugging modes, as I've already seen that -X
hides the problem).
