  Yes, the ID's are being re-used.  That's what RADIUS does.  But the
request authenticators should NOT be re-used.  I don't see that
happening in my tests.

  Because it's changed for every new request.

  And the vector generation doesn't depend on the ID, so I don't see
how it gets the same authenticator.  And in any case, it shouldn't be
happening.
