   binkd crashes when reloading after file

   Hello mark,   
      
   Let me add my 2 cts.   
      
   In an attempt to provoke the crashes I created an empty include file for my   
   binkd config file. With the Windows task manager I created an event that   
   touched the date/time stamp of this empy file every five minutes. The rescan   
   delay for my binkd is set to 60.   
      
   This was about five years ago. I let it run for a month or so. Binkd reloaded   
   its config every 5 minutes and that did not cause a crash.   
      
   So I thought "hmmm this version of binkd seems to have fixed the problem". But   
   alas when I made changes in the actual config files the crashes reappeared. So   
   it looks like it is not just the reloading the config files as such, some of   
   the config files must actually change to make it crash.   
      
   I gave up and stopped using the -C option.   
      
   I did not formally document it at the time, so I am relying om memory.   
      
   Just my 2 cts.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
