There have not been any code changes to Xastir in a while.  A very long
while, actually.

Odds are that you would have found everything to be working after a recompile/
relink after the upgrade.   Rebuilding Xastir is always the first thing I
do after completing an OS upgrade, because I expect there to be shared library
issues in the binary.  I'm surprised it even ran at all.
