[Insight-users] Image offset is giving bad pointer for large datasets (7Gb)

[Luis Ibanez]

On recent realization:

             "size_t"    is unsigned       :-/

and we need the OffsetValueType to be signed,
since we use it to compute differences...

It seems that what we need is the type

                        "ptrdiff_t"

which is supposed to represent the differences
between two pointers, and therefore should be
capable of measuring distances between any
two locations in memory.

I'm now rerunning the Experimental with
"ptrdiff_t" instead of "size_t".
