it isn't really "shifty" but simply mis-coded such that
radius/argus assumes
that the other side can handle it... as the FAQ states, it should check the
other side's capabilities first and then not use it OR send an M_ERR block
stating why the session is being aborted...

i suspect that they were going to try to get the method added to binkd but
never got that far due to problems around those times... i can't help but to
wonder if Taurus fixed this problem since it comes from the same code and has
many fixes and improvements...
