Ok, so you're running Xastir on Cygwin, then displaying it via an
SSH connection to your Solaris box?  Check the colordepth on the
solaris box.  That's most likely where your problem lies.  I've seen
color problems like that before using either VNC or remote X-windows
to systems with different colordepths than the system running
Xastir.
