subject: Summer time.. binkd crash

Hello Wilfred,

On Sunday March 29 2015 13:40, you wrote to me:

There are two things:

1) Binkd crashes - after a while - when it is started with the -C option and
the config changes.

2) It crasches with the transition to and from DST because it thinks the cofig
has changed.

How does the Linux version act? Does it:

1) Not crash when the config changes?

2) Not think the config has changed when DST cuts in or out?

I was awake when the clock changed from 02:00 to 03:00. I watched binkp for a
while, all seemed OK. So I went to sleep. When I came back in the morning I
noticed it had crashed shortly after I went to sleep.


Cheers, Michiel
