From the man page for radiusd, the -s option specifies,
"Some systems have issues with threading, however, so running
in "single server" mode may help to address those issues."
I cannot help but wonder if in fact others have been seeing this, and just
opted for -s and less efficiency.
At this point all the (troubled) server receives are accounting packets It
then relays these packets to two (2) other radius servers, and processed
them according to acct_users, which in turn runs a script for Stop packets.
Thus far, only running an external script has been identified (thanks Alan)
as creating child processes of radiusd.
I really would LOVE for this to be a configuration error on my part, but so
far I cannot locate one.
Thanks,

Not possible.
You could run lots of copies with a single thread bound to different UDP
ports, and load-balance them somehow.
I cannot explain why apparently no one else is seeing the issue I am
chasing. As far as I can tell, my configuration is quite basic.
The fact that it's not happening for anyone else would tend to indicate
it's specific to your system. We fork processes on accounting in some of
our virtual servers, and this doesn't happen.
