Subj : binkd crashes when reloading after file change detection

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
