[Xastir] xastir stops displaying stations

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Er... ah... you've got an X error.  I'm not sure if it's a 
lesstif/openmotif error (there's many better X developers than me!) but 
that's where I'd be looking.

I've also had evidence of a serious memory leak in KDE2.1.2, so I'd be 
suspicious of that as well.  I've got to restart KDE on a daily basis or 
things slow down and unexpected occurances happen, although I've not 
seen this one...
