A few more questions and I'll (probably) stop:

Are you connected to internet feeds as well during this time?  These
are the times that I get this sort of operation.  Looking at the
logs, it is usually a bulletin from a newly-logged on station (or a
queued internet feed I just hooked to), for which I don't have a
position yet.

Please:
1) Log all interfaces during this time.
2) Shut everything down after it happens.
3) Verify from the logs which bulletins caused the popups (check
both tnc.log and net.log if you have both interfaces going when it
happens).
4) Send me excerpts fom the logs with a note stating what
happened/when/why.

I could add in a bit of code that prints to STDOUT the callsign that
causes a bulletin popup and the distance to that station.  That would
answer the question once and for all.  If we still have bugs in that
part of our code, you'll be able to tell me quickly.
