    Have you tried the patch that increases the size of the satellite list to
    50? Looks like 50 is just enough to hold all the satellites in the AMSAT
    keplerian element bulletins. A link to the patch is on the Predict
    webpages.

    Beware that this can cause problems with other programs that use Predict
    as a server. For example gsat segfaults, apparently because it doesn't
    check the size of the satellite list received from the server and this
    results in a buffer overflow (gsat is hardcoded for 26 satellites IIRC).
