   it isn't really "shifty" but simply mis-coded such that radius/argus assumes   
   that the other side can handle it... as the FAQ states, it should check the   
   other side's capabilities first and then not use it OR send an M_ERR block   
   stating why the session is being aborted...   
      
   i suspect that they were going to try to get the method added to binkd but   
   never got that far due to problems around those times... i can't help but to   
   wonder if Taurus fixed this problem since it comes from the same code and has   
   many fixes and improvements...
