I think that means you're built against lesstif instead of openmotif.

It turned out that lesstif could crash hard if you switched those buttons
while the window was open.  So they're now disabled if lesstif is being used.
As I recall, the issue was that lesstif has bugs related to adding or
deleting widgets while a window is open.

The other crashes could be lesstif related.  Can xastir be built with 
openmotif on OS X?
