[Emerald] Emerald is no longer correctly creating the radius "users" file

For some reason, Emerald 2.5.278 is no longer creating the radius "users"
file correctly. Every entry has the following format to it (missing radius
attributes):

username Password = "password", Expiration = "Aug 11 2000"
= 1200
= 28800
= 0
= 2
= 1

The only thing I did recently to the RadAttributes table was:
Create a new column called NameNew (varchar(32))
Save the table.
Update RadAttributes set NameNew = Name
Rename Name to NameOld; rename NameNew to Name
Save the table.
update RadAttributes set NameOld = ' ' (can't be null)

As an experiment, I just ran the following to see what would happen:
update RadAttributes set NameOld = Name
I had Emerald recreate the "users" file and it's back to normal.

Why is Emerald using "NameOld" to generate the "users" file instead of
"Name"??

The reason why I recreated the column is because over 3 years ago when I
first started using Emerald and RadiusNT, the Name column was created as
varchar(25) and there are actually several radius attributes that are
somewhere between 26 and 32 characters.
