I have not, but I don't often see a lot of the type of activity you
describe.

Xastir records all of the interesting info about its own
objects/items in the ~/.xastir/config/object.log file.

If you kill an object the lines corresponding to that object that
are still live should get a hash mark prepended to them.  Same for
if someone else takes over or kills your object.  Perhaps one of
those scenarios didn't get tested fully.

Please add it to the bug-list, with as much detail as possible so
that one of us can recreate the problem.
