This problem was originally reported by Hilderic Browne in a bug-gnuastro post
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuastro/2022-07/msg00005.html>. In
Short, when running the command below on the file submitted in that bug
report, Table never stops (until you press Ctrl+C):


$ asttable bsc5.fits 
^C
$ asttable bsc5.fits -i
^C


As reported there, this problem doesn't happen on more recently created FITS
tables (ASCII or binary), the file submitted in that report has a 'DATE' of
01/08/1991!
