Running "xastir -v2047 &" and trying each of them, it comes down to
the glap.* set of maps that are causing the segfault.  If you run
them through shpdump/dbfdump you also get segfaults, which most
likely means that there is a mismatch between the numbers of shapes
in each of the three files, or some other problem in the shapefiles
themselves.
