Running on Linux, SuSE 9.0 and/or 9.1, I don't get that problem at
that zoom level or any zoom level.  When I read that last night my
first thought was that it might be the zoom level at which the
weather alerts stop displaying.  It's not.  For me they stop
displaying at about 100k or so, if I'm running dbfawk.

Are you running with dbfawk enabled?  Check your Help->About window
to see.  If so, try running without it to see if that makes a
difference.  "configure --without-dbfawk" and them "make install".

Is there anything showing in the xterm that you started Xastir from
when it crashes?  Can you duplicate this problem every time?

You might also try running Xastir as "xastir -v2047 &" from and
xterm, which will give you the most verbose debug output.  Perhaps
it will give us some clues as to where in the code it is crashing.
