Hi,

can you check the log files before these repeating messages:

Fri Nov 12 19:10:43 2010 RADIUS-PLUGIN: BACKGROUND-ACCT: Scheduler: Update
for User ...

I would have  expected a messages like "RADIUS-PLUGIN: New failed ..." or 
something else.

Some background information:
The plugin always creates two additional processes, one for accounting, one 
for authentication. If everything is fine you should always see three OpenVPN 
processes.

The process you analyse with pstack is the accouting process (I guess), which 
still produces the output messages. This process still works, the two others 
are finished/crashes, so the last messages are of interest which don't include 
the "ACCT" tag. These message should give a hint what happened to the other 
processes.


Regards,
Ralf
