Error: Thread 1 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting

[Tim Gustafson]

Hi,

I've had a FreeRADIUS 2.1.3 server running on FreeBSD 7.1 for a few months now.  I logged in today to add a new group to my users file, and then re-started the RADIUS daemon.  After re-starting, I'm getting this in my error log:

Info: Ready to process requests.
Error: Thread 1 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting 
Error: Thread 2 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting 
Error: Thread 3 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting 
Error: Thread 4 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting 
Error: Thread 5 failed waiting for semaphore: Invalid argument: Exiting 

When a user tries to log in, the first packet seems to go nowhere, and then the second and subsequent packets emit the following error in the log:

Error: Discarding duplicate request from client foo port 65259 - ID: 111 due to unfinished request 0

I rebooted the server, but am still getting the same errors.

Any idea what might be causing this?  I'm doing a ports rebuild on the FreeBSD box just in case, but I figured I'd ask around a bit.
