None of the output above looks very suspicious.  If there was a
timestamp on the X Errors, you might be able to tell whether they
happened around the time of the segfault.  As is, they probably
happened quite a bit before, as you were zooming/panning or messing
with the menus live.

The last incoming line looks ok.  That was put in to the segfault
handler so that we could easily debug "killer" packets, which are
malformed packets that used to kill us.  One by one they got taken
care of, so now that debug output is much less useful.

I'd do the memtest thing to see if your memory/CPU combo is reliable
as-is.  Also check your serial port I/O addresses and interrupts,
make sure nothing else is trying to use the same ones.  I think you
were running with just a serial TNC interface, right?  No AX.25
networking or internet ports connected to Xastir?
