Thanks, Curt, I had subscribe using my generic email alias, the posting was
from my actual (most often used) mail reader - and therefore the post was
rejected. I have now corrected that on the list.

And thanks for the info on gpsd, it may be a while before I am able to build
xastir from the CVS, so for now I will have to continue using the old stuff.
