  I think I know what's happening.  The HUP triggers a tear-down &
re-start of all modules.  If a module is blocked, the data structures
pointing to it will be destroyed...

  One solution would be to go to src/main/modules.c, function
setup_modules().  Comment out or delete the call to detach modules().

  That will work, but ONLY if the "radiusd.conf" file doesn't change.
If you're HUing the server to get it to re-read the "users" file,
that's OK.

  If that change fixes it for you, we should look into a better
approach to HUPing the server...
