You can't just rename it without knowing for sure what it is.

Try this if you installed ImageMagick:

     identify 51A_Oisterwijk_2004.ozfx3

or this if you installed GraphicsMagick:

     gm identify 51A_Oisterwijk_2004.ozfx3

That should tell you what the file contains.  Once you know that you
should be able to rename the map file, the .geo file, and the map
file name INSIDE the .geo file.  Then reindex maps in Xastir and try
loading it again.

You can also try "display 51A_Oisterwijk_2004.ozfx3" (ImageMagick)
or "gm display 51A_Oisterwijk_2004.ozfx3" (GraphicsMagick) to see if
the IM or GM programs can load/display the map.  That doesn't
guarantee that Xastir + the GM/IM libraries can, but it's another
check along the way.
