  It's possible.  Lots and lots of modules do it.

  The problem is most likely that you're passing different
compile-time flags to the different C files.  As a result, the "magic"
entry at the top of the REQUEST structure is used in one C file, but
not in another.  There is no such magic in the RADIUS_PACKET
structure, so that always works.

  The solution is to build your module either as you're building the
server, or pass -DNDEBUG as an option to the compiler.
