[Xastir] 126,858 stations/objects in Xastir

[Curt Mills]

Sounds like the same, yes. At some point Xastir can't keep up with an
unfiltered full stream and the incoming queue gets bigger and bigger until
you get a disconnection from the server. Xastir will process packets for a
while out of the queue, then reconnect to the server if that option is
checked.
