Start Xastir like this:

(xastir -v2047 2>&1) > xastir.log

And send me the output after it crashes.  If you can make it crash
quick and leave interfaces off (so the output isn't too big to look
at), that'd be most appreciated.

You could also send me your config.log file and a listing of your
operating system version, the libraries you've compiled Xastir to
use, and anything else you think would be pertinent info.

I suspect the problem is on your particular system.  We just have
to figure out why.  There are hundreds of people that are doing just
what you're doing and not having those problems.
