[Xastir] xastir stops displaying stations

[Jim Hogarth]

Gerry,

I'm using KDE 2.1.2.  The connection is over a cable modem to Comcast.

This first happened over a month ago, I changed servers from the ahubeast to 
the first.aprs.net and Xastir worked again.  About a week ago, the same 
problem occurred with first.aprs.net.

Here is a tail of net.log:

Per your suggestion, I got the latest CVS version, 1.1.3.  This starts up, 
displays the map, and I see stations reported in the status bar in the lower 
left.  However, after about 30 seconds, Xastir terminates with this error:

----------
X Error of failed request:  BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  56 (X_ChangeGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  454343
  Current serial number in output stream:  454344

----------

Thanks for your help
