[Xastir] Lost tiger maps

[Bob Nielsen]

It must have been some sort of glitch.  I have been configured to use
the new method for a while. The map downloaded (or at least Xastir said
it was downloading and the delay seemed about the right length), but
didn't display.  I tried several times and still no results.  I checked
ImageMagick and it still recognized and displayed gif/jpg/png file
types.

I just tried again in Xastir and the map displayed this time.  Sorry
for the commotion, but it was somewhat strange.
