Grabbed the new CVS sources today and tried them on both my Cygwin setup
and my native Linux setup.

Oddly enough the memory footprint on the Cygwin system went up, it was
14Meg before now it's reporting 17Meg.  Still stable though it ran all
day with no problems.

The exciting news is the memory leak fixes seem to have fixed the
problems I had with xastir crashing when I was running it on my Linux
box but displaying it on my Windows machine using a windows based xserver!

Woo Hoo!  That's what I wanted!  At least it's been up over an hour so
far with no problems.  Before it wouldn't stay up 10 minutes.

(Can't say how it would run native on the Linux machine displaying
locally. I don't have a monitor attached to that box.)

Now I can look into compiling AX.25 into my kernel and moving the TNC to
the linux box - Kinda silly the way things are setup right now, I use
three computers!  My notebook over by the radios running AGWPE with an
802.11 card feeding the linux machine running xastir which is being
displayed in an xserver on my main windows machine :)

Keep up the great work!  I still have to sneak over to sourceforge and
add a few goodies to the feature request list :)  I may even get brave
and start digging into the source to see if I can help implement my
suggestions ;)
