If the problem has to do with the text above, it could be a bad set
of files representing the Shapefile map, or it could be flaky
memory.

Just to see if it might be that particular map, start Xastir like
this which will cancel out your map selections and bring Xastir up
with no maps:

     xastir -m &

If it comes up fine, try selecting the map that it choked on to see
if the problem recurs.

If you have a memory check program loaded under Linux, either at the
boot prompt or via some other method (usually memtest86), run that
for a few hours, preferably a few days, to see if you get any errors
there.
