Xastir does keep backup copies of the xastir.cnf file.  You'll see
them in the same directory.  Each time you shut down Xastir or save
the configs it will renumber them and delete the oldest.

I suspect the problem crept in due to code changes.  We changed what
we stored for those values a month or three back, and added code to
convert to the new system.  There's likely a bug there somewhere.
