According to the FITSIO standard, tables and images containing 
*floating-point* NULL values have these cells/pixels set to NaN.  So kst 
should already ignore such entries.

Could you provide an example FITS file where the file has NULL pixel/element 
values that are not returned as NaN's in fits_read_col?
