Ah, the Windows code has a forked version of that breaksig.c file:
https://github.com/pgul/binkd/blob/master/nt/breaksig.c

Notice how nothing sets 'binkd_exit' in there?

Looks like the deferred exit upon termination was a feature that was added and then never ported to the Windows build of BinkD.

A likely fix would be:

    case CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT:
      Log (1, "Interrupted by Close");
      binkd_exit = TRUE;
      return TRUE;
--
