Hi

The radius authentication program in inn-2.4.3 works fine for me on
FreeBSD with a single radius server in the configuration file. When I
add a second radius server, the program segfaults. I tracked down the
source of the problem to a lack of initialization after a malloc. A
diff of the fix follows.
