[Xastir] Xastir going down at night

[Eric Christensen]

I'm not even running the Firenet scripts (if you have them please send
them my way).  I've only dipped into swap once and that was for 52kB and
that was during a brute force attack on a password.  With Xastir only
taking 0.5% of my physical memory (about 20MB of RAM) I can't see it
being a memory problem.  It might be a video problem but I can surf over
to another workspace and I don't have any problems.  Actually the
problem seems to happen when I'm looking at it and when I'm on a
different workspace.

I just trimmed back to a 14580 port vice 2023 just encase.

I just noticed something.  I'm using 1.8.4 when others are using 1.9.1.
 I'm forgetting what I need to do to update my install.  Isn't it
something easy?
