#reloadpl bug?

as a precaution now, i generally do a "perl quest_script_name" in a terminal window, to check the syntax. if perl exits quietly, i know i didnt flub somethign up and i then do a #reloadpl and its all good.

Good observation - this is the problem as I just ran #reloadpl about 15 times and nothing happened - did one with a bad pl and crashed everything
