Let me agree wholeheartedly with what Tom just said:  If Xastir is
compiled with one version of libdb, then at runtime it detects that
the library is a different version, it will disable map caching
(refusing to use that particular library) in order to prevent
crashes.  It alerts you to this fact in the startup messages in the
xterm you started it from.
