Authentication not robust against packet loss?

Hi guys,
Not sure if this has been fixed in svn or 1.0.12 but running 1.0.11 I
notice that in case a radius authentication packet (or its response)
gets lost due to network problems/saturation/packet loss etc. coova
never tries to re-authenticate the way it retransmits acc packets after
a few seconds.
This could be a bug or a feature but I'd like to know either way. It's
easy to reproduce by dropping radius auth packets on your radius server
by means of a firewall and watching coova send out only once radauth
packet and then sit there doing nothing.
