Packet of death not causing proper session termination?

Hi there,
We just came across a peculiar problem whose solution is not clear to
me: Customer logs in, gets a very long (or non-existing/infinite)
session timeout and happily surfs away happily. Now something special
happens and we need to terminate his session prematurely. I know I can
do that with a packet of death sent directly to the nas on its coaport,
BUT, I've noticed that this makes the NAS close the session only *in its
internal state* and doesn't send an Accounting-Stop packet back to
radius to update session parameters (most noteably input&output octets).
I know I can close the session *on the database* manually but I
obviously lose those up-to-date session parameters.
So, how can solve this dilemna? It would be nice to be able to force
chilli to terminate the session properly upon receiving a packet of death...
