I'll give that a try...

It has done it since before the directory changes... I just now thought 
about it after dealing with the other problems recently... reloading Xastir 
as many times in one day as I did is what made it annoying enough to ask 
about it.

everything looks as it should.  I might try deleting the database and 
"reinstall" it from the archive again.  Then again I might not fool with it 
for a few days since Xastir seems to be happy since I updated 
everything.  It has been running flawlessly for a day or two now and I 
don't want to mess with a good thing.

I can even display it on my slower machine again so it can stay up and 
running and out of the family's way when on the main computer.
