pixmap and shape are return values, thus you tell it to return the
values to what those pointers point to, but you have not initialized the
pointers, which simply can (but do not have to when you overwrite
something non-interesting) go harvok.
The code has to be:
        Pixmap pixmap, shape;
        ...
        XpmReadFileToPixmap(display, window, xpmfile, &pixmap, &shape,
                        NULL)

Hochachtungsvoll,
