Hi Chris,
Thats very unusual.
The log file looks very interesting: it in fact looks like there were several
instances of Radiator running, and the normally logical sequnce of log messages
is very hard to follow. That is very unexpected.
Is it possible that you are using the Fork keyword in one of your AuthBy
clauses?
Can you send me your Radiator config file (no secrets), plus a bit more of your
log file?
