If you think it might be a map problem, start Xastir as:

     xastir -m &

That will deselect all maps.

If that doesn't work to solve your particular problem, we have to
try other things.  One helpful thing is to start Xastir in debug
mode with all debug text turned on to see if we can get more info
about where it is crashing:

     xastir -v 4095 &

The "32" in the error message flags something else for me, which may
or may not be related:  Is it possible that Xastir was killed
suddenly instead of shut-down properly in the past, and still has
some threads running?  Try:

     ps aux | grep -i xastir

without Xastir running to see.  Kill any Xastir threads you see
(other than the "grep" line which should also show up).
