[Xastir] Two stupid Q's

[Kurt A. Freiberger]

Another way to fix it is to do a forklift upgrade to Fedora Core 1.  I hate ImageMagick!

I fixed it to use the CompressColormap() calls.  That resulted in Xastir fetching the tigermap, then exiting with a segfault.  Thus the decision to go to FC1.  I now have 3 copies running on differing machines.  We are much happier.
