Summary0008316: paraview crashes during initialization of the slicer with a dataset with very large bounds
DescriptionThe dataset below crashes paraview immediately after creating a Slice filter

Slicing itself works very well, since the following python code (look at plane.Origin) is able to cut it. The problem is not the slicer, but the slice widget initialization:

I have found a simple fix after looking again at the source code of ParaView3/VTK/Filtering/vtkMergePoints.cxx

the problem is an overflow because of a mix of int and vtkIdType.
I replaced the ints by vtkIdTypes and the segmentation fault goes away

here is a patch file. Apply with patch -p0
