[Xastir] Xastir, Cygwin and GPS/TNC

[Bennett, Joe]

Just an update, after posting this email (things come to me AFTER I post) I 
played a bit more. The sleep message with the extraordinate time period seems 
to be due to the "set clock to GPS time". When that is checked, my clock gets 
set an hour ahead (set to the correct time if I disable daylight savings in 
Windows) and the date gets set to December 31, 1967. I'm gonna guess this is 
a Cygwin issue?
