RADIUS is very explicit in separating the handling of authentication and 
session setup from accounting. This change would violate that by having 
an error in processing of RADIUS packets influence the session handling. 
This is especially problematic in environments where 
authentication/authorization is done by other systems than processing of 
accounting data.

If we do this it should be a configurable option which is disabled by 
default.
