A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Creating a Raster containing a subset of another Raster sometimes results in a error regarding the scanline stride (RasterFormatException: Incorrect scanline stride).

As you can see the from the executable test case the problem occurs when creating a 1-band and 1-row subset Raster from a 3-band raster Raster with a PixelInterleavedSampleModel.

I believe this bug is related to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6604105.

Working around this bug is technically possible by either creating the DataBuffer manually or implementing custom ColorModel/SampleModel's. However in practice making these modifications is difficult since the bug also affects third-party libraries (for example JAI).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the test case below.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The test case succeeds.
ACTUAL -
The test case fails with a RasterFormatException.
