I'm getting the same sort of thing.  Perhaps they changed their URL
again on us?

It should eventually time out.  You can also kill Xastir, then go
into ~/.xastir/config and remove your selected_maps.sys file, which
will remove all of your current map selections.  Next time you start
up Xastir, just don't click on the tigermap stuff.

We'll have to keep a watch on it to see if they changed the URL.
Actually, I guess it was terraserver that did that to us a couple of
times so far, not the tigermap server.
