Hi Michiel!

change that include file, it sometimes crashes.

Thanks, I'll try to reproduce this.
Please tell perl dll version you use. Is there "MULTIPLICITY" compile-time
option (they shown by "perl -V")?

I suppose the problem is somewhere in mingw32 multithreading and perl.
On reload config binkd should restart perl interpreter, but existing threads
should work with previous perl. So, there should be two simultaneous perl
interpreters within the same binkd process. I'm afraid it's not possible with
any versions and builds of perl.
You can try another variant of binkd build: with fork instead of multithread or
with MSVC or with another perl version or using your own perl build with
mingw32 and multithread.
