Is this on RHEL5?

If yes, I HIGHLY suggest you look at /etc/logorotate.d/radiusd. I just
check freeradius2-2.1.12-3.el5.i386.rpm, and it doesn't do a reload,
which means you either:
- will be missing logs (since the one with the open handle is deleted), OR
- have an old logfile (e.g. radius.log.3) that will continue to grow

Fedora should have the fix since freeradius-2.1.11-2
(http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Version-2-1-11-has-been-released-td4505961.html),
while RHEL6 would probably have the fix in freeradius-2.1.12-1.el6
when it's out (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705723).

If you have redhat support I suggest you open a support ticket.
