2.1.8 was released Dec 30 2009.  But freeradius version numbers are
usually updated early in the developement cycle.  The code discussed in
Nov 2009 was a development version between 2.1.7 and 2.1.8.

IIRC the issue discussed was fixed well before the 2.1.8 release.  2.1.8
was very stable.

There are lots of fixes in 2.1.10, which has been as stable as 2.1.8 was
for us (2.1.9 was not...).  I would have upgraded before investing any
more time debugging the problem. Maybe even to current git, as 2.1.11 is
really close according to Alan DeKok.  It may not fix your problem, but
at least it will make your debugging useful to the developers. 2.1.8 is
getting sort of outdated.
