Runtime error with GCC 13: reference binding to null pointer

[degauden]

After the compilation on Fedora 38 with GCC 13, the run of EleCfitsioWrapper_CfitsioWrapper_test produces an error:

$ ./build.x86_64-fc38-gcc13-dbg/run EleCfitsioWrapper_CfitsioWrapper_test
Running 4 test cases...

After a bit of debugging, the stack trace points to:

It looks like the problem is caused by an uninitialised std::array. But the CRTP makes it difficult to locate.

rather than uninitialized, it seems the array has length 0. I'll have to dig a bit, thanks for the debugging!
