probeFilter throws exception if "Input" extent exceeds "Source" extent

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a probeFilter with its two inputs, "input" and "source"
   The "input" should be chosen so that its extent (number of voxels) 
   exceeds that of the the "source"'s in any cardinal direction
2. Execute the probe filter.

We expect this to work, because the "extent" has no direct relation to an image 
volumes' bounds. And even if the input exceeds the source's bounds the filter 
should (and does) just return zeroes for these locations.

However, the above procedure causes the filter to crash with the following 
message (e.g.):

Unable to execute part 0 of module dvm4 (probeFilter): ERROR: In 
..\..\..\archive\VTK\Filtering\vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 878 
vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline (000000000DAC7340): The update extent 
specified in the information for output port 0 on algorithm 
vtkTrivialProducer(000000000D6F5050) is 0 213 0 197 0 319, which is outside the 
whole extent 0 516 0 516 0 285.

A known workaround is the re-sample the source so that its extent is large 
enough, but this is cumbersome and theoretically unnecessary.
