Unfortunately, there's not enough to go on to figure out what's causing
this.  Clearly something is wrong going into some call to Magick, but
it'll take work to track that down.

First off, are you using GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick?

Magick is only used to deal with raster maps, so perhaps one or more 
of the maps you're trying to display on startup is causing a problem.

When you start up Xastir, try adding debugging flags to get Xastir to 
spew messages about what it's doing.  Perhaps some output it produces
prior to the crash will help narrow down where the problem lies.

    xastir -v 512

should enable "map import/export debugging", which is where I am speculating
the problem lies.

At least that is where I'd start.
