Okay -- I just finished updating with Fred's new binary and CVS update, and 
duplicated the flight, and it happened again.  Weird thing is, I was JUST 
climbing through about 17,000 when I was thinking, "gee, this is going well so 
far.  I wonder what the METAR is," and looked at it and noticed there was no 
wind info, which I think was mentioned in an earlier post speculating a 
possible cause.  That's precisely when it froze and went haywire on me.

I took the UFO back to that approximate spot and got the METAR info...

.... but am curious as to why this bug doesn't affect the UFO?

Has any of this been any help?

Hello all --

Just moments ago I started up the Citation Bravo and departed KRDU 
(Raleigh-Durham, NC, USA) and turned to heading 150.  As I was climbing through 
FL200 I froze up and got the unending stream of "Detected NAN" messages.

You can see on the map that I had just crossed I-95 when this occurred.  The 
line that heads to the northwest from there is phantom data; I guess 
FlightTracker is still trying to make sense of whatever data it got after my 
position was obliterated by the error.

I have no idea what the METAR was at the time (aren't we speculating that it 
would have JUST switched?) or even what station reports for that locations, but 
if someone right now wants to try taking a UFO to that same spot and see what 
it is and if ti confirms the bug, have at it!

By the way, this was with Fred's win32 build from 1218.  After the abort, I 
checked to see if a newer one was available, found one from today, and am 
updating data module now.

Cheers,
-R.
