[Xastir] Need help trying to reproduce bug report

[Tom Russo]

We just got a bug report submitted on github:

https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/issues/37

The claim is that Xastir is repeatedly retransmitting messages over
RF that have already been acked via the APRS-IS.

I have never observed this behavior, and am trying to reproduce it.  Much to
my disappointment, of all the APRS stations in my local area not one has
messaging capability --- I can transmit messages to my heart's content and
never get an ack from any of them.  They're all either running one-way
trackers or are just unattended info reporting stations (e.g. weather
stations and one-way igates).  Even the D700s I see moving around aren't 
acking messages (this is possibly an issue caused by the one-way igates...).  
But that's another lament.

I've also tried sending messages to a station far out of the area (actually, 
to Curt), his station immediately ACKS me, I receive the acks over APRS-IS, and that ends my retransmissions over all interfaces once and for all.

Since I cannot even reproduce getting an ACK on RF in my local area, it'll
be hard even to see if there's a real bug here.

Can anyone else check out the bug report and see if they can reproduce
the behavior reported?
