I had a problem upgrading from 12.2(17d)SXB to 12.2(18)SXD on a sup720. 

radius-server key 7 <removed>

changed to 

radius-server key 7 <different string removed>

so I couldn't ssh into the box (at least it was in the lab, so I only 
had to walk in there to get console access.)

Note that the new string decrypted to the correct string when I ran it 
through a cisco password decrypt program, it just wouldn't work with 
the radius server. I entered it again in config mode, and communication 
with the radius server works again.
