There is a minor bug/typo in mri_surf2vol that was leading to registration 
issues if the "--fillribbon" flag is used, like in my case.

https://github.com/freesurfer/freesurfer/blob/dev/mri_surf2vol/mri_surf2vol.cpp#L373
The call to   MRIcopyHeader(OutVol,VtxVol); has to happen after the closing of 
the if/else statement, otherwise the if branch (fillribbon) won't be covered 
and the output vtxvol file will have a wrong header.

Regards,
Daniel
