Cool. I submitted it and got this error:

File name: test.fits
Run Number 8232

fitsverify 4.15 (CFITSIO V3.181)
--------------------------------

2 Header-Data Units in this file.

=================== HDU 1: Primary Array ===================

1 | SIMPLE = T /Dummy Created by MWRFITS v1.4a
2 | BITPIX = 8 /Dummy primary header created by
MWRFITS
3 | NAXIS = 0 /No data is associated with this
header
4 | EXTEND = T /Extensions may (will!) be
present
5 | END

5 header keywords

Null data array; NAXIS = 0

=================== HDU 2: BINARY Table ====================

*** Error: checking data fill: tried to move past end of file
*** Error: String in row #3, column #3 contains non-ASCII text.
(Other rows may have errors).

I don't know entirely how to interpret this.
