BUG:	When combining input images that have been dimensionally reduced
	(those have a WCSDIM keyword greater than the logical dimension
	of the image and having a WAXMAP01 keyword) and using offsets
	the error

	    Warning: MWCS: dimension mismatch (mw_gltermd)

	will appear.  Even though it says it is a warning it is really a
	fatal error and the task will quit.  Dimensional reduction occurs
	with copying out a lower dimensional section of an image; i.e.
	copying a 2D plane from a 3D image.  The workaround is to reset the
	headers of the input image to remove the dimensional reduction.
	This is done by deleting the keywords WCSDIM and WAXMAP01.

STATUS:	Fixed for the next release.

i just registered for this site and i have no idea how to post a new bug.

but, i'm using IRAF 2.13-BETA2 on a macintel and i could not get fixpix to work. it kept giving the same error:

Warning: MWCS: dimension mismatch (mw_gltermd)

i searched and found this bug report. indeed, i had been supplying fixpix with a dimensionally reduced image. i deleted the WCSDIM and WAXMAP01 keywords, and then fixpix worked perfectly.
