Screenshot of errors

Dia is completely unable to open files produced by Xfig 3.2 patchlevel 5b (current version from Cygwin).  Running on Windows XP SP3.  Screenshot of error-messages and sample file attached.  Without looking at the code yet, what seems to be tripping it up is that Xfig thinks it can put whatever it wants on the first line, while Dia is just looking at whatever text appears after the literal string "#FIG 3.2".  The first line is actually:

#FIG 3.2  Produced by xfig version 3.2.5b

Fixed as second part of bug #436148 - just checked your file against current master.
