It's working fine here.  Did you perhaps update your ImageMagick
files recently?  Perhaps you got one without XPM support or that has
bugs.  Perhaps the library you're using for XPM support got updated
to a non-working version.

Check whether the snapshot.xpm file in ~/.xastir/tmp/ is ok.  Xastir
creates an XPM file and then calls ImageMagick's "convert" to create
a PNG image out of it.
