Default 302 wind calculation

I am able to reproduce this bug at will.


And here it is http://tinyurl.com/ygtwbvf

Ridge on the left, correct wind showing in XCSoar in PDA (12 knots
from 090 relative), 303 showing 4 kts from 333 relative.

The wind calculation performance of XCSoar, using data from the 302,
is absolutely outstanding. It's fast, it's accurate, it doesn't cough
up garbage. The 302/303 is *buggy*.

What's missing in all these schemes is a display of the age of the
vector wind calculation on the main screen.
