Perhaps a flaky memory stick or you're running out of memory and
getting into swap?

You might try running "top" sorted by memory usage ("M") and check
it in the morning to see how much swap you're using, how much free
memory you have, and how much memory Xastir is using.

Xastir is checked periodically for memory leaks.  It definitely
grows a bit over time but I've had it running for 100's of days with
no issues other than that slow growth.
