[Xastir] Can't open igate.log

[Norm, VK3XCI]

Thanks David, but no.

Shut down xastir and rebooted to make sure all buffers were empty, still no joy. 
I've renamed the old file and started a new log, which is perfectly readable. We 
had some power dropouts the last few days and I've had to restart the box 
several times. Guess I've got a corrupt file.

I'll try vim when I can steel myself to it, but I don't hold much hope.
