Today I can't seem to get WMSRadar, USRadar, or TXRadar to work with any of
3 virtual machines.  On Ubuntu 7.04, I have Xastir 1.91 compiled on 6/30/07
from CVS using Imagemagick 6.2.4.  The US and WMSRadar were working last
weekend (Sept. 2-3 time frame).  I think the radar maps must be down because
they are not working on a Xastir build in OpenSUSE10.2, either, which was
compiled from CVS in late July, and it uses GraphicMagick.

The 3rd VM is brand new - Xastir 1.91 compiled today from CVS using Mandriva
One (Spring 2007).  It is also using ImageMagick as opposed to
GraphicsMagick.

Hopefully if the radar maps start working again, we'll be able to discern
somethign useful.
