    Segment: accounting for blank pixels when checking detection map
    
    The input detection map in Segment is interpreted as a signed 32-bit
    integer type. So when it has blank values, they are stored as the smallest
    possible number in this format (a huge negative number). However, the
    checks at the start of Segment don't account for this, so when there are
    blank elements in the detection map, Segment crashes, by saying that there
    are negative pixel values in the detection map (which should be only
    positive).
    
    With this commit, if the value is negative, AND it is equal to the standard
    blank value for this type, then it doesn't crash any more. fortunately all
    later parts of Segment can account for blank pixels, the problem was only
    in the check at the start.
    
    This bug was reported by Zahra Sharbaf.
    
    This fixes bug #58833.
