radiusd and oracle accounting

We have configured our radius servers to send accounting information to an Oracle database. It works our really well except when the oraclce database server isn't available (I.E. maintenance or cold backups). The radius process dies when it loses connectivity to the oracle server. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Any suggestions on how to make radiusd more robust and able to recover from this?
