I have a different problem on a Linux laptop when I put it into
sleep mode.  Sometimes when it comes back up, Xastir doesn't want to
accept mouse input.  Usually in that case the pointer for all of
Linux is effectively dead and I have to reboot.  I'm assuming this
is a Linux-on-this-particular-laptop problem.

I'm not sure whether I've noticed that Xastir sometimes appears to
work normally but doesn't receive/parse data from the interfaces.
I'll have to watch for that.  Seems like I have at least once
though.

When you have the problem you describe next, try closing all
interfaces and restarting them.  That might fix it.
