Yeah, thanks. There are quite a few kissparms is one, ax25dmon I think is another. Just being a bit lazy and trying to avoid yet another reason to finally get beyond hello_world in C. JNOS2 has a neat mode called 'axui' which is very much like what I want. It does UI conversing and allows using digis in the path...it's how I experimented with APRS msg format doing digi via WIDE3-1 directed to APRS or CQ alternately. I actually found a human listening to test with, unlike plain packet around here which has tons of nodes, but almost no real people active for kbd to kbd type conversing. I just want to take the axui concept and have an aprs mode to auto handle the msg syntax/formatting. Not rocket science, but oddly missing from the pile of 'native' linux console apps.

I just dug through my emails from the period, and am mistaken that the error caused segfaults. The error is that after closing the connection of a client to an Xastir server port, Xastir was not accepting reconnects and was spewing error messages. You can find a description of it in the list archives from September 2008, under the subject Problem with Xastir Server Ports. The bug in question was fixed first by commit 1.60 to x_spider.c on 22 September 2008 and then definitively by commit 1.61 on 26 September 2008. The commit that introduced the bug was revision 1.59 on 11 June 2008. The revision of x_spider.c that's in Xastir 1.9.4 is revision 1.59. The point is that we had a release in August of 2008 that had a bug that was not detected for two months prior to release. It was reported by a user and promptly fixed approximately one month after the release, and users of CVS got it immediately. Users of release tarballs didn't get the fix until 1.9.6 was released in October 2009, and users of Ubuntu's package still have it. As for why you never noticed... could be just lucky.
