these are hex values, not octal, and it seems to be an intermittent  
thing.

example session ID

0x464631304646464635383230333045322d3434363938363135

and the dictionaries are installed in /usr/share/freeradius where  
they have been since initial install on this system.  The dictionary  
includes the rfc dictionaries at the start which includes the Acct- 
Session-Id attribute.

Are dictionaries loaded each time a child is started? or just once  
and then kept in memory?
