  Please use 'gdb' to attach to the process and find out what it's doing
 (see doc/bugs).  I don't know what OS you're running, and I can't
reproduce the issue myself.  So I'm *completely* stuck at this point.

  It's doing *something*.  Is it using all of the available CPU?  Can
you run it in debugging mode under valgrind?

$ valgrind --tool=memcheck radiusd -X

  and see what it prints out.

  That's fine.  The request is reaching "max_request_time" at this
point, too.  It can't be proxied anywhere else, because it's used all of
it's available time.
