Summary:                    Transform function return local memory
Description: 
vtkTransform provides a number of functions to transform points and vectors:

TransformDoublePoint
TransformDoubleVector
TransformDoubleNormal

The returned double* appears to be local, and may be invalidated right after
obtaining the return value

Steps to Reproduce: 
double* pointOut;
double* normalOut;

pointOut  = transform->TransformDoublePoint(point);
normalOut = transform->TransformDoubleNormal(normal);

// at this point, pointOut is invalidated
