Bug#1115311: wsjtx: Freezes hours later when left receiving (FT8 and Whisper)

[Fraz <frazzmatazz@gmail.com>]

Package: wsjtx
Version: 2.7.0+repack-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Just writing to report freezes that regularly occur when I leave WSJTX running to report received messages to PSK reporter or Whispr. I've noticed this happens with FT8 and Whispr, I haven't seen enough traffic on other modes to try them. 

For example last night I left it running from 2300 till the morning. When I got back to use it, it was frozen and the last received messages were around 0400. So it ran happily for 5 hours before freezing. I also left it running one day with reception reports turned off, and it was still frozen when I came back later. There are no errors in the terminal when it freezes, and I also have to kill JT9 to get it to restart.

WSJTX otherwise works perfectly, can transmit and receive properly using USB CAT control. 

ICOM IC-705 transceiver. 
USB /dev/ttyACM0, everything on defaults. data-pkg mode.
