[Xastir-Dev] "Caught seg fault"

[Gerry Creager]

Loading maps, apparently.  It appears to no longer like my TIGER-derived 
shapefiles.  I also have the NIMA DAFIF shapes, which are aviation data: 
runways, airport boundaries, navaids, airways, etc., and they load fine.

FWIW, the -t option did not generate a core file for me to work against.

I'll start reintroducing the maps one at a time, later today.  I'm 
honey-doing right now (and taking a break at this instant).
