/dev/cu.USA19QW3b11P1.1

It is still running, no crashes since I disabled the USB dongle. So I  
suspect that is the culprit. It is running the latest update (2.4)  
which I tried before the last crash (the last thing before I disabled  
it). I have nothing but Keyspan USB/serial adapters. I have three.  
Only one is connected to that machine. Perhaps the next time I am  
feeling motivated I might try one of my others to see if it's that  
specific device rather than the software.

I'd love to hear other suggestions. If the problem does relate to the  
USB adapter, is there any chance it relates to the Xastir code? Or is  
it certain to he the driver?
