[Serusers] Radius accounting unreliable

Guys,

For those relying on Radius accounting generated by SER beware that the 
combination of RadAcctId-AcctSessionId is not at all unique.  If you 
use MySQL for storage of radius accounting you will miss CDRs every now 
  and then (because is a unique index) and the update queries will 
update calls from the past as a result, calls with huge duration are 
being generated.

The problem is generated by a combination of factors:

1. Some UAs reuse same call id among multiple calls (Grandstream 
systematically show this behaviour)
2. The Acct-Unique-Session-Id is not unique either, it repeats itself 
every now and then.

I would appreciate to see reactions for this problem from the 
developers.

Regards,
Adrian
