I searched again and I found this page:

http://www.trilon.com/xv/downloads.html

saying:
 Patch to fix XPM file output errors 
By cleverly harnessing the amazing power of a missing 'break' statement, xv 
was writing XPM files with a FITS version of the image conveniently tacked on 
the end. Hilarity ensues. 

So it is not GIF but FITS (never heard that before). I checked the xv source
code, everything after the }; actually is FITS output.

And if I remove the XPM part from Bark.xpm gimp does open this as
a FITS image file.

So now I feel confident we can remove those binary parts - I will write
a git filter-branch for that
