What language are you using with Xastir?  What's your LANG
environment variable set to now ("env | grep LANG")?

I think Mandrake might have changed something on you, or you might
have changed your locale between Mandrake installs.

Try setting "export LANG=C" and then running Xastir from that Xterm
with the changed variable.  "LANG=en_US" should work also.
