Funny.  Xastir is at version 1.1.3.  Don't know what version of
Xastir you might be running, but I can guarantee it's not the
latest.  I suspect it's the "stable" version from february 2002,
which is quite buggy compared to later development snapshots.

And you're defining multiple interfaces using
"Interfaces->Properties", and then turning both interfaces on at the
same time using "Interfaces->Start/Stop", correct?

I've had up to 15 interfaces running at once and it works just fine.

I'd suggest first of all snagging the latest development snapshot of
Xastir, which was released sunday.  Go to http://www.xastir.org to
find it (sourceforge link).

Once you get that version compiled/installed, see if it exhibits the
same problems.  If it does, post again and we'll try hard to help.
