Default XCSoar closing after airspace warning? And 1st 2hr flight.

Anyone had this issue? I'm just a beginner but I did my first 2hr
flight today (I was not the sink meter for once), and tried to use my
PNA with XCSoar to log my flight (really just for something to
do) .... I pulled it out once every 30 minutes or so to check on it,
and saw and airspace warning each time .... 12sm from the nearest
class B. Ok, so I ACK'd it and when I clicked "CLOSE" to close the
alert window, XCSoar also closed! Argh.

I had to restart it about 4 times. Anyone seen this before?

Other than this minor inconvenience I had a superb day of flying!
Circled with other gliders for the first time (not as scary as I
imagined), and got a heck of a sunburn. But it was worth it. 2hrs
was all my wallet (and bladder) could take (renting my glider) and I
was forced to land. Had to fly with full air brakes and a forward
slip for quite awhile to get down, lift was everywhere.

Thanks
