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

[David A Aitcheson]

Curt or Tom,

Apparently Matthieu still needs to be added to the list-serve.

Could one of you look into this? I am at a loss as (today) my Internet
(Charter/Spectrum/Time-Warner) is cycling every 2 to 3 hours at my
current location and I have to reboot/restart everything every 90
minutes just to maintain sanity for my system and that is without Xastir
running.
