I'd guess Shankar just wanted to have radiusd stay in the foreground and 
not "daemonize" itself... That would be
$ gdb /usr/local/bin/radiusd
b <some function>
run -X

Or, which is usually better, let radiusd initialize itself such that all 
required modules and functions are loaded:

$gdb /usr/local/bin/radiusd
run -XA
....
....
....
Listening on authentication *:1812
Listening on accounting *:1813
Ready to process requests.
 
^C (yes, Control-C)
break <your entry function for debugging>
cont

and let your tests run.
