Radius is running away with the CPU

[David]

I have been using freeradius for several years but in the last few months
have seen a problem with the cpu usage.  TOP almost always shows radius with
> 100% CPU much of the time it is at 300%.  The load average runs up to 32
at times as well. This corresponds with the max_servers. I am using a mysql
database on the same box and it looks to be behaving and queries to it are
fast. The box is dual 2.8 xeon with 2 GB ram. Anyone have a idea what would
cause this?
