[Xastir] hangups after downloading updated NWS shape files?

[kevin.paetzold]

I am sending this in case anyone else is seeing the same issue (which I have 
not seen anyone else report on the mail list).

I run on fedora 10 with the latest and greatest CVS sources.  For about 2 wks I 
have had periodic mysterious hangs of xastir.  It took me a while to narrow 
this down and it seemed that one of threads is terminating with a bad address. 
  I have not really seen any big source code changes for xastir itself for a 
long time so I was thinking xastir was a victim and not the culprit. SO I 
figured that this was caused by taking some updated package from Fedora etal 
and was using this an an excuse to hone my gdb skills :-).  I now believe (I 
may be wrong but evidence is piling up) that the problem seems to be the result 
of my using the new get_NWSdata script which seems to download a new/different 
set of NWS shape files.  When I go back to the old shapefiles the problem seems 
to go away.
