Only if you request it.  Type this

    (xastir -v2047 2>&1) | tee problem.log

What that does is run Xastir in a subshell (the parenthesis), pipe
STDERR to STDOUT inside that shell (the "2>&1" part), then pipe it
through the "tee" program so that it goes to both a file and to
STDOUT.  You can look at "problem.log" later with "view" or "less".
