I don't recognize any of those libraries.  Xastir doesn't use them
directly that I know of.  Perhaps one of the X11 or GM/IM libraries
does.

That's more like a normal error I've seen over the years.  X11 is
unhappy and the program has died.  I've seen this with quite a few
different programs and it doesn't point into anything
Xastir-specific.

Check your memory to make sure you don't have an issue, particularly
if your computer area has been unusually warm.

Check IM or GM if you can to see if that's where the bug is.  The
map.png hints at that but it could also be memory, an X11 bug, or
even some problem in a related library.
