[Xastir] PNG snapshots not delivering..

I was reading the thread about xastir snapshots and went ahead and tried 
to see if they work for me. Zoomed at to about 256 that I normally use 
(geotiff map) there were no problems. But when I zoomed in to about zoom 
8, where I have a different map set (png/geo), I get this error printed 
on stderr:

/usr/bin/convert: Not a XPM image file
(/home/oh2kku/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.xpm).
System call return error: convert: /home/oh2kku/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.xpm ->
/home/oh2kku/.xastir/tmp/snapshot.png

I can open the xpm file with gimp, but something is wrong with it, the 
image is not the same as I can see on the xastir screen. It looks like 
the resulting file has some kind of additional noise in it. And convert 
prints the same error as above when I tried. A sample faulty xpm created 
by xastir is at http://www.oh2kku.ham.fi/misc/snapshot.xpm (6 MB).

I'm running Xastir from CVS, compiled a few hours ago on an FC1.
