[vtkusers] Python 'Killed' running anything

[Steve Leblanc]

Hi

I'm a long-time VTK user. I've just upgraded my Python installation
(on SGI IRIX 6.5) to version 2.1.1 so I recompiled VTK 3.2. Mace.cxx
and mace.tcl work fine but mace.py crashes python with the message
'Killed' and nothing else (no traceback or anything). I've also tried
compiling the latest nightly version of VTK. Same problem.

Here's the interesting part. If I replace all occurrences of

	XXX.SetInput( YYY.GetOutput() )

with

	a = YYY.GetOutput()
	XXX.SetInput( a )

then everything works!

I've tried similar constructions in Python (without VTK) to see if my
Python build was screwy, but it looks OK, and all python tests pass.
It only happens with VTK.

Any ideas?
