Radius spawns a child to deal with authenticate and accounting packets as
they come in. On an especially busy host, a child might become hung. If it
doesn't respond, radius will kill it for you. It's done this for a while,
1.16 added some logging. It doesn't effect anything, if the PM doesn't get
a reply, it sends it again and the odds off two children handling the same
request both locking is about the same as the odds of me blinking and finding
myself on a beach in Maui. (*blink blink blink*... Damn...)

No, Radius doesn't do anything with open connections. If gets a request and
sends a reply, or files it in the case of accounting.
