Fits file are read by gimp and not by display

[broucaries]

Investigating bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=268241 I tried to read some fits file from
http://www.cv.nrao.edu/fits/data/tests/pg93/pg93.html

Display always display black image where as gimp display correct image

More strange some file like in viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7710 display identically on gimp and display

We have a patch for the problem you reported. Look for it in the next point release, 6.4.8-2.

Note, ImageMagick does not automatically normalize the image so for tst0004.fits, the normalize option is required to get the full range of data:

convert tst0004.fits -normalize x:
