One thing you can try is the "-i" command line switch to xastir, this
installs a private colormap.  Then our older 8-bit color systems can
display more colors.  [I use mostly old suns, most have 8bit color,
and work just fine thankyou!]

Can't help much with the crashing... do you mean the app crashes or
the whole X server process?   Do other apps behave the same, or just
xastir?  error messages?  

Solid black images are usually a buggy version of imagemagick.  

Chris.
