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

[MLHPUB]

Test is done at 1727z.

We can see on joined screenshots :

- first message and immediate ACK on telnet session but not seen by Xastir

- if a second message is sent, ACK is also immediate

- sent message counter growing in message window without any effect on 
APRS-IS telnet session (only first message visible). A second message is 
really sent when counter is #4.

- offset about 2 minutes between an APRS-IS message not taken into 
account by Xastir and its display in messages window (example with group 
removal)

I have tried to stop and restart APRS-IS interface without any 
improvement. The only way to retrieve a normal result is to shutdown and 
restart Xastir.

Config here :
- HP4310s laptop
- RAM 3 Gb
- CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz
- Debian 9 amd64
- KDE

Any ideas ?
