  That's a fairly catastrophic error.  It likely means that the server
is out of memory.

  The message comes because it tries to insert the EAP session into a
binary tree containing the list of active EAP sessions.  If that fails,
it's because there's a duplicate EAP session (unlikely), or because it's
out of memory.

  I don't see why it should die... unless it's out of memory.

  I've never seen it before.  That code in the EAP module hasn't been
changed for a *long* time.
