[Xastir] Xastir going down at night

[Gerry Creager]

Eric,

If I start dipping into swap I tend to get more RAM.  You're already 
well outfitted with 4GB physical memory.  You'd said that you're running 
the firenet scripts and Xastir.  That shouldn't be an exhaustive load. 
However, if you dip into swap, you're memory-bound, almost certainly.

I wouldn't discount Curt's suggestion of a hardware (memory or memory 
controller) issue.
