Comment (by kencu):

 here is what I got on my day-to-day 10.6.8 machine, that also crashed
 during the py27-astropy test run:

 }}}

 I then tried the small example above:
 {{{
 from astropy.io import fits
 from astropy.wcs import WCS

 ff='HorseHead.fits'
 f_fits = fits.open(ff)
 w_f = WCS(f_fits[0].header, naxis=2)
 }}}
 using <https://astropy.stsci.edu/data/tutorials/FITS-
 images/HorseHead.fits>

 and I got a similar crash in the WCS(f_fits..) function call

 I'll upload both these crashlogs.

 FWIW, I added the test suite to the `wcslib` Portfile:
 {{{

 test.run    yes
 test.target check
 }}}
 and all the tests in `wcslib` pass.
