I`m not sure. Have you asked the node to be sure their Synchronet
install is up-to-date (especially their exec and load directories)?

Maybe they have an old or modified version of BinkIT or one of
the dependent files (e.g. binkp.js). If you`re not seeing the same
behavior with my system (which is using the latest and greatest), it might
just be a bug specific to that system or version of binkit (and it`s
dependencies).
