hostapd and GTK handshake?

Hi all.
I have noticed a few things while working on EAP-TSL with hostapd,
wpa_supplicant (both using hostap driver) and external RADIUS server.
One is that if I look at the trace of the message exchange, after the
EAP Success frame, at the end of the authentication process, I see four
EAPOL key frames (and then encrypted data). Now, these last four frames
should be for the PTK. What I do not see are the EAPOL frames for the
GTK which should be right after the ones for PTK. On the hostapd output,
however, it says GROUP_HANDSHAKE --> COMPLETED which makes me think that
everything worked just fine, but then, where are the EAPOL frames for this?
On a more silly matter, after the authentication has completed
successfully on the output of hostapd I see:
EAPOL: startWhen --> 0
and after some time:
EAPOL: authWhile --> 0
EAPOL: idleWhile --> 0
What is their meaning?
Thanks a lot,
Andrea
P.S.
I am using CCMP
