radiusd only sending a NAK after a retransmission

We are having an issue with failed logins with FreeRADIUS.  The problem is 
that FreeRADIUS doesn't appear to actually send a RADIUS Reject until the 
second authentication request comes in.  I have an IOS Router authenticating 
ssh logins against freeradius.  The example packets above I am using a static 
username/password in the users file.  I see that if I enter the wrong 
password, radiusd doesn't send a NAK until the IOS router transmits the 
request.  There are not any delay issues with ACKs coming out of freeradius.

TCP Dump output:
10:38:22.703456 IP 172.16.1.8.1645 > 172.16.2.60.1645: RADIUS, Access Request 
(1), id: 0xf1 length: 103
10:38:38.008371 IP 172.16.1.8.1645 > 172.16.2.60.1645: RADIUS, Access Request 
(1), id: 0xf1 length: 103
10:38:38.008588 IP 172.16.2.60.1645 > 172.16.1.8.1645: RADIUS, Access Reject 
(3), id: 0xf1 length: 20

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Ideas?
