bogus session handling in radutmp?

[Stefan Winter]

Hello,

we are using a FR 1.0.1 server for accounting purposes. The server is 
configured to keep track of current sessions in radutmp.
Occasionally, this file gets corrupted: it contains a _plain text_ copy of an 
accounting packet (exactly as you see them in the detail files) as opposed to 
the binary format this file is usually in.
The result is that the parser radwho gets confused by these entries and fails 
to display the sessions that are located in the vicinity of the plain text 
part of the file. Strangely enough, there are no other problems. FR keeps 
working, no SEGVs, and radwho displays the other sessions as usual.
Has anyone experienced this? Would upgrading to 1.0.3 help (this server is in 
heavy production use and I would like to avoid upgrading if possible)?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
