I had a look at this and I must say that I think the problem lies in
MFITSIO and not Octave. My guess (and I am guessing) is that MFITSIO is
not compatible with version 3 of CFITSIO, as MFITSIO has not been
updated since 2003 (the last version of CFITSIO in the 2.x.x series is
from 2004).

Does anybody have access to Matlab on a machine with CFITSIO installed,
that would be willing to install MFITSIO and see if it works?
