[Xastir] Bug#876626: Xastir loose TCP/IP data afer 12 hours of use

[MLHPUB]

Hi all,

Thanks for explanations !

I make the test today, with a message exchange with ANSRVR.
Xastir has been started at 0530z.

 From a listening Telnet session :

# filter b/F4ACU* g/F4ACU* active


F4ACU>APX209,TCPIP*,qAC,T2FEJER::ANSRVR   :J RPRNET{Do}


ANSRVR>APWW10,TCPIP*,qAS,KJ4ERJ-15::F4ACU    :ackDo}


ANSRVR>APWW10,KJ4ERJ-15*,TCPIP*,qAS,KJ4ERJ-15::F4ACU    :N:RPRNET Now 
Monitoring


F4ACU>APX209,TCPIP*,qAC,T2FEJER::ANSRVR   :U RPRNET{Dp}


ANSRVR>APWW10,TCPIP*,qAS,KJ4ERJ-15::F4ACU    :ackDp}

ANSRVR>APWW10,KJ4ERJ-15*,TCPIP*,qAS,KJ4ERJ-15::F4ACU    :N:RPRNET 
Removed From Group

All is immediate.

Next step this evening...

73 de F4ACU
