When the radial profile script is run with '--oversample' that is larger than
1, the central radial annulus will be incorrectly placed on the edge of the
original resolution central pixel. But the central over-sampled pixel should
be in the center of the original resolution image.

To reproduce the problem, you can run the following commands. When DS9 opens
from the last command, zoom-in to the central pixel of the values image and
note how the pixel with the smallest value in the apertures image is on the
edge of the values image, not its center!


$ echo "1 50 50 1 20 4 0 1 1 1" \
       | astmkprof --mergedsize=99,99 --oversample=1 -oraw.fits

$ astscript-radial-profile raw.fits --oversample=3 --keeptmp \
           --tmpdir=rad-tmp-dir --ds9scale=minmax

$ astscript-fits-view rad-tmp-dir/values.fits rad-tmp-dir/apertures.fits


This bug was found during a discussion with Nafiseh Sedighi.
