I have seen this when xastir is linked with gdal that has been compiled 
on cygwin with external tiff libraries.  I remember that you were working
on getting gdal working --- do you still have it installed?  If so,
get rid of it (there is no make uninstall command, so you have to hunt down
all its little bits and rm them) and reconfigure/rebuild xastir without
it.
