(PM) 3.8b15 and no authentication

Well, it happened. We lost our first customer due to the Flex/X2/V.90 wars.
I really can't complain. We held on for a long time.

Ironically, it was 3.8b15 that did it. Here's the issue, a couple of users
can call, the modems negotiate, but then they are not authenticated. Change
the phone number to a box that is running 3.7.2 and everything is fine
again. With some users this problem is repeatable 100% of the time, with
others it happens 3 or 4 out of 5 times. Then, of course, some not affected
by it at all.

Both boxes authenticate with the same RADIUS server. On one of the boxes
where we were having trouble we knocked it back to 3.7.2 and everything was
fixed. In other words, the Portmaster configuration seems to be fine.

Looking at the debug output it looks as if PPP starts and then nothing.
Eventually the modems give up.

Anyone else seen this? Any ideas what is going on?
