[Xastir] Segfault

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I didn't get the segfault (although I've seen it before when Curt's 
doing wholesale CVS updates and I catch him in between a couple of file 
uploads), but xastir was just using 60% of CPU (per top) an the whole 
machine slowed to a crawl.  I had to kill it to get any relief.  It also 
wasn't talking well to any of the connected servers...

Any thoughts of updating to a more modern kernel?  Did you have packet 
logging on so we can see if it was a killer packet?  Have you considered 
killing your config file in case there's something in it that's causing 
problems, and rebuilding same?
