You're not supposed to see it, so you're smarter than you think!  hi

When Xastir starts up, it snags the ~/.xastir/config/map_index.sys
file into memory as a linked list.  It uses this list to look up the
edges of the maps.

Shortly after Xastir starts up, it'll re-index the maps and put the
extents and filenames back into this disk file.  You can look at the
file directly to see what's in there.
