  There you go.  You told it to send that response.

  There's nothing special about vendor-specific attributes.

  You're getting confused because the reply isn't a copy of the
request.  It's not supposed to be.  The problem is in your
expectations, not in what the server is doing.

  It does lots of things.  Do you have a more specific question?

  As a general answer, the server treates vendor-specific attributes
just like normal attributes.  There really is no difference between
the two, except which dictionary file they sit in.
