[Xastir-dev] Interesting possible bug

Latest data, Firenet objects being gated onto the INET feeds:

It appears that one Xastir station injected these objects.  He was
connected to Firenet.us:2023 only.  No other internet feeds.  No RF
connections.  Only that one interface defined.  That particular
interface had igating turned off.  Global igating was turned on in
both directions.  Nothing should be igated in that case.

An injection ID of ",callsign,I" was added to the header of each
packet, as if the packets came from local RF and were igated by
Xastir.

The timestamps on the packets were 1.5 to 2.0 days old!

Could it be that if the global igate options are turned on, any
packet read in from a log file gets igated?  That's the current
theory anyway.  I'll test that theory later tonight unless someone
else does and posts the results here first.

Test with a very small logfile if you attempt this, so we don't
trash the INET feeds!
