Did you make distclean and reconfigure before rebuilding xastir for F7?

If you got a core file, you should run the debugger and see where the
segfault was.  there are suggestsions about how to run the debugger
in README.Contributing.

If it didn't drop core (i.e. because ulimit -c isn't "unlimited"), you might 
want  to run xastir in the debugger to catch the real problem.  Again,
look in README.Contributing for hints.
