Particle swarm optimization excet

Hello. I want to use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Affine image registration. As you see below, I initialized PSO code

optimizer->SetInertiaCoefficient(0.8);
optimizer->SetMaximalNumberOfIterations(1000);
optimizer->SetNumberOfParticles(20);
optimizer->SetGlobalCoefficient(1.5);
optimizer->SetInitializeNormalDistribution(true);
optimizer->SetNumberOfGenerationsWithMinimalImprovement(50);
optimizer->SetPercentageParticlesConverged(0.85);

OptimizerType::ParameterBoundsType bounds;
// bounds.size();

for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
    std::pair < double, double > value;
    value.first = -1;
    value.second = 1;
    bounds.push_back(value);
}

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    std::pair < double, double > value;
    value.first = -200;
    value.second = 200;
    bounds.push_back(value);
}
OptimizerType::ParametersType init;
init.set_size(12);
itk::Statistics::MersenneTwisterRandomVariateGenerator::Pointer generator =itk::Statistics::MersenneTwisterRandomVariateGenerator::New();

for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
    init(i) = generator->GetUniformVariate(-1, 1);
}

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    init(i + 9) = generator->GetUniformVariate(-200, 200);
}
optimizer->SetInitialPosition(init);
optimizer->SetParameterBounds(bounds);
std::cout << optimizer->GetInitialPosition() << std::endl;

std::cout << "Parameter bounds:" << std::endl;
OptimizerType::ParameterBoundsType par = optimizer->GetParameterBounds();
for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
    std::pair<double, double> values = par[i];
    std::cout << values.first << ", " << values.second << std::endl;
}

Althoug the initial position is within the bounds, I always get the exception

itk::ExceptionObject (000000F47353EB48)
Location: “void __cdecl itk::ParticleSwarmOptimizerBase::ValidateSettings(void)”
File: C:\InsightToolkit-4.13.1\Modules\Numerics\Optimizers\src\itkParticleSwarmOptimizerBase.cxx
Line: 369
Description: itk::ERROR: ParticleSwarmOptimizer(000000F475BD3670): initial position is outside specified parameter bounds

How can it be possible?

From the code snippet there is nothing that looks clearly wrong. It would be great if you could provide a minimal working example illustrating the problem so that we can reproduce it. Possibly something like the PSOTest2 function found in itkParticleSwarmOptimizerTest.cxx.
