This is what I have now:

GPRMC,hhmmss,{A|V},[d]dmm.mm[mm],{N|S},[dd]dmm.mm[mm],{E|W},ddd.d,ddd.d,dddddd,ddd.d,{E|W}[*CHK]
$GPRMC,081836,A,3751.65,S,14507.36,E,000.0,360.0,130998,011.3,E*62


GPGGA,hhmmss,[d]dmm.mm[mm],{N|S},[dd]dmm.mm[mm],{E|W},{0|1|2|3|6},nsat,hdop,mmm.m,M,mm.m,M,,[*CHK]
$GPGGA,170834,4124.8963,N,08151.6838,W,1,05,1.5,280.2,M,-34.0,M,,,*75


The spec for a Starlink Invicta GPS has an extra leading zero for
the latitude in the GPRMC sentence.  Weird.  I hope that was a typo
instead of reality.

Later today you can try the latest util.c, which you can get from
the Browse CVS section on SourceForge.  It's easier if you're
already using the CVS version of Xastir, you just type "cvs update"
and you have the latest sources.

Remember that the anonymous CVS server still runs up to five hours
behind the developer's server so the changes I'll put in at
lunchtime won't be available to you for a bit.

I think you said you're running Xastir-1.5.0, so I know you're not
running CVS.  Just try replacing that one file to test the fixes.
