I can confirm this bug. It has its cause in libwcstools0. The following command 
(from the wcstools package) will crash as well:
wcshead wcs.fits.
The cause is that the fields in 

struct WorldCoor {
[...]
 char ctype[9][9];
 char c1type[9];
 char c2type[9];
 char ptype[9];
[...]
}

are too small to hold the CTYPE2/CTYPE2 that come with wcs.fits:

CTYPE1  = 'RA---TAN-SIP'
CTYPE2  = 'DEC--TAN-SIP'

A corrected revision of wcstools (libwcstools0) will be uploaded to
Debian and find its way into the next Ubuntu release.

** Also affects: wcstools (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** No longer affects: wcstools (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: saods9 (Ubuntu) => wcstools (Ubuntu)
