That sounds like one or both of the threads for that interface
aren't getting killed/restarted.  When an interface is active, you
have two extra threads handling it, one read thread and one write
thread.  Every running interface gets two new threads.

It's possible that if you change interface settings while an
interface is up, Xastir might not kill/restart the threads properly
with the new settings.  That's not something I've ever tested.
