Rashad,

Seems 1.0.1 really works when compiled with --with-threads=yes 
(default). However it doesn't with --with-threads=no flag. 1.0.5 doesn't 
  in both cases, neither does 1.1.0. At least I found a working version 
- 1.0.1 which is not broken. Thanks.

Best Regards to all who helped to eliminate this problem and whole 
freeradius team.
