According to the documentation here:

  <http://networkradius.com/doc/current/raddb/radiusd.html>

The default is 65536.

It should be fine to leave at the default as I believe most
installations do.  I suppose it might be a defensive mechanism if
you're afraid of running into a potential leak, but I think you may
more likely suffer some performance-related penalty when or if it has
to spend time clean restarting threads.  It should be safe and is
probably best to leave at the default of zero unless you have a really
good, specific reason to change it.
