  Hmm.. those aren't in the standard dictionaries that I can see.

  The code in src/lib/radius.c is responsible.  It should be checking
for attributes above 255, and discarding them.

  How are the attributes supposed to be encoded in the packet?  The
normal VSA's use one byte to represent vendor attributes.  Since 287
won't fit into ne byte, something else has to be done here.
