That is not good. Looks like either you're running old code, or it's wrongly
compiled.

Did you install from a pre-built package (e.g. RPM?) If so, then try
downloading the latest source and compile directly from source.

It's very easy: uninstall your RPM packages, download the source tar file,
and type
# tar -xvzf radiusd-cistron-1.6.4.tar.gz
# cd radiusd-cistron-1.6.4
# cd src
# ls Makefile*
(pick the Makefile for your OS)
# cp Makefile.<yourOS> Makefile
# make
# make install

The 'make install' needs to be done as root, the rest can be done as a
normal user.

If that's what you did already - then you have found a software bug running
Cistron under your OS. If you get a core dump, it should be possible to use
'gdb' to isolate the actual statement which caused the crash, which in turn
can be posted to the author or a mailing list for further advice. But
Cistron is so widely used, I think it's unlikely.

Brian.
