Re: asttable --information hangs

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Hi Hilderic,

Thanks for sending the file, I was able to reproduce the problem and 
find the fix (see the message at the top for the details if your 
interested):

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuastro.git/commit/?id=7d117daa2d0

You can download the latest Gnuastro tarball (and its corresponding 
book), that has this fix from the links below:

https://akhlaghi.org/gnuastro.pdf
https://akhlaghi.org/gnuastro-latest.tar.lz

To install this tarball from source (see the "Quick start" section in 
the Introduction of the PDF above).

As described in the commit message, the problem with reading this file 
wasn't actually with Gnuastro, but with CFITSIO (which is used by 
Gnuastro to read/write FITS files). I have already submitted a bug 
report for the CFITSIO authors and they are looking into it.

To stay up to date with future Gnuastro releases, you can subscribe to 
this mailing list:

Thanks again for reporting this bug (for both Gnuastro and CFITSIO) ;-).

Cheers,
Mohammad
