Autonaming of ASCII region files uses the .fits extension instead of .reg as would be expected.
In general, autonaming only works for simple cases.
Tool does not add a history entry to the header.
The tool does not add a history entry to the output file header, which means the dmhistory tool cannot be used to recall the command.
Large number of scales might exceed the string buffer
limit.

/soft/ciao/binexe/wavdetect: line 234: 6881 Abort trap: 6 wrecon log=$wd_log ... wrecon failed or wrecon (CIAO): ERROR: Bad file name in flux stack on line 1 : Bad file descriptor # 5679: wrecon (1) is: exit_upon_error->NULL wrecon failed
wavdetect creates temporary files with names like wdname_xxx_yyy, where xxx and yyy are "(int)scale*10"; scale '2 4.5 16' creates filenames with "020 045 160".
If the scale values are greater than 100, the xxx and yyy values become four digits instead of three. This may cause the string buffer to overflow and the tool to fail.
