Fixed.  Caused by an extra long packet that initially looked like a
GPGGA packet.  The strtok() function was the culprit and has been
replaced by split_string() now.  More work should be done later to
remove strtok() calls elsewhere in the code.  This is a particularly
dangerous function.  Even the strtok() man page on Linux warns that
it shouldn't be used!

Still working on this one.  Several more hours of work to go but
making headway on it.  I hope to have it done by the end this
weekend.  At that point the missing islands should reappear.

The other six language files have been updated.  Just this one
remaining.

How about the Xastir spec file?  Is that ready to go?  I did some
work on it but others should look at it.  I'm a rank beginner at
RPM's.  We need to get to the stage where it follows all of the
recommended RPM rules so that any of the distro's can pick it up
and use it directly.
