When I had my terminal servers misconfigured (in my case, they were looking for XON/OFF flow control that wasn't there), I had nearly the same results. Check your terminal server config.
If you want to test it, how about unplugging your terminal servers for a while and seeing if radius stops dying? (seriously) Although it's almost assuredly a bug that should be addressed (processes dying are _never_ a good thing), might want to get the ball rolling that way.

Greetings, I wrote in a while back about garbage in our logs from our routers. The terminal servers are logging in to the device causing this garbage to show up in the radius logs. For example: Fri Feb 28 13:16:38 2003 : Auth: Login incorrect: [5)55)AiMM]=Ii] (from client network-backbone port 1) Fri Feb 28 13:16:38 2003 : Auth: Login incorrect: [9Q%] (from client network-backbone port 1) Fri Feb 28 13:16:38 2003 : Auth: Login incorrect: [ap-vxr#] (from client corporate-network port 11) So this is a known issue with the terminal servers logging in to the devices. Our network engineers are aware of this problem but do not know how to fix it. My question is, would this sort of constant stream of garbage hitting our RADIUS server cause freeradius to just die with no warning or errors? This is what happens and I cannot seem to find a reason why. The process just seems to die at random. We're running 0.8.1. Also, if anyone has any pointers on fixing this issue with all Cisco equipment please let me know.
