automatic marker refresh stopped working with Fedora 15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I had been using the marker.txt file as a very easy way to plot a number of 
time-varying position reports.  The data source is similar to Amateur Radio 
Packet System mobile position beacons.  Before the Fedora 15 upgrade, my 
application wrote a new marker.txt file and gmapcatcher kept up with it once I 
set the GPS update option.  Now I have to manually refresh the screen to see 
the new data -- no more moving pushpins!  Perhaps I've been exploiting a bug 
that's been fixed, but I really don't want to fight xml when the marker.txt 
format is so convenient and worked so well.  I currently run several systems 
with Fedora 12, 13, and 15 and the 15 machine is the one with this problem.  
I've tried older versions of gmapcatcher (back to 0.5.7.0) but it's something 
about Fedora 15.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

That is very very strange...
But I have a possible solution, there is an option in the config file 
auto_refresh = 0 
that is in milliseconds, set it to 250 see if that does what you want.

According to DistroWatch:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora
Fedora 15 comes with Python 2.7.2, and Fedora 12 & 12 come with 2.6.x
I'm very short on free time to debug this case, but that might be the reason 
why.
