Your questions. Yes. Your use of hyperbolic formatting, and HTML on a text based 
mailing list invite mocking.

Additionally you're posting an issue about a little used utility, in a version of 
the server which was released over four years ago.

The problem you're posting about is not significant. radeapclient is not intended
to run for long periods of time, and the amount of memory leaked is small.

radeapclient will still function just find for the vast majority of situations.

If you feel strongly about this please submit a patch for a recent version of
the server to https://bugs.freeradius.org.
