[AstroPy] pywcs problem on Linux

It looks as if your new traceback is related to an API change -- all of 
the transformation functions now require an "offset" argument, which 
should be 0 for C/Numpy indexing or 1 for Fortran/FITS indexing.

If that change doesn't work for you, can you send me a FITS file and 
script to reproduce this off list?  I'll see if I can reproduce what 
you're seeing here.
