OK. I have done all these things and I still get the same result: the
packet causing the error does not contain the Tunnel-Password
attribute. I have upgraded to 1.1.3 and the error message has gone
away so that seems to suggest that there is a problem or at least
something different going on with 1.0.1?

I cannot continue to use 1.1.3 as we are regularly using HUP to re-read
the configs and there appears to be a problem with this in versions > 1.0.1.
