Are you seeing callsigns in the path that have 3 letters and start
with 'q'?  If so, you're seeing packets coming from one of the later
versions of aprsd where they add in another "callsign" that Xastir
rejects as invalid.  Upgrade to the latest CVS Xastir and the new
Xastir code will drop that part of the packet and decode the rest of
it.
