Update to Xastir 1.9.8 or later.  There was a bug in 1.9.6 and earlier that
caused it to do this when linked to GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick libraries
that had been built with QuantumDepth=8 (the default for GraphicsMagick in
recent releases).

Other bugs have been fixed since 1.9.6 as well.  The Xastir in Ubuntu 
repositories is ancient.  You're better off with CVS.
