The best I have to offer at the moment is:
----
alex at berk:/usr/src$ strings core.4260 | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | head -n10
  77245         Acct-Delay-Time = 0
  72478         Realm = "NULL"
  69890         Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
  68526         Operator-Name = "1soas.ac.uk"
  67717         Service-Type = Framed-User
  67670         NAS-Port-Type = Ethernet
  67670         NAS-Identifier = "switches"
  67670         Huntgroup-Name = "cisco"
  55646         Acct-Status-Type = Interim-Update
  44341         Cisco-AVPair = "connect-progress=Call Up"
----

Well, it looks like something in the accounting side of things.

/me goes back to pondering

Cheers
