RadiusNT uses a DateAdd() function on the database side to let the DB
add the extension to the expiration date. Most likely this is a
behvioral issue with your database. For example, MS Access doesn't
accept a NULL in the DateAdd() field and will retutn an error. However,
SQL Server will happily return a NULL from DateAdd() when the date is
NULL.
