OK, I found why it cored-dump.
I though that CA_file and CA_path needed to be set seperatly.
so when setting CA_path I was commenting CA_file .
Now that both CA_file and CA_path directives are present in eap.conf, it
doesn't core-dump anymore.
Anyway, I found my real problem. It's from securew2 windows EAP-TTLs client
it doesn't support certificate above 2048 bits, and our 3 level CA chain
is composed of 3x4096bits CA certificate.
So securew2 was complaining about a wrong certificate from freeradius,
beacause it could'nt read such a "large" bundle.

we are waiting for a securew2 new release to validate that .
