[vtkusers] vtk3.2 crashes on Windows 2000

[Mykola Khotyaintsev]

Dear vtkusers!

I have a serious problem using java vtk on Windows 2000.
The SimpleVTK works fine.
I try to visualize a satellite in my programme. Everything works fine when
I use vtkSphereSource, but when I try to create more complicated geometry
(see attached file test.java) the programme works fine, when the actor is
far away from the camera, but when I zoom in the programme crashes with
the following message:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0xed92f00
Function name=DrvValidateVersion
Library=C:\WINNT\System32\mxicd.dll

Current Java thread:
        at vtk.vtkRenderWindow.Render_6(Native Method)
        at vtk.vtkRenderWindow.Render(vtkRenderWindow.java:36)
        at vtk.vtkPanel.Render(vtkPanel.java:118)

                             [skipped]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tested my programme on different platforms including FreeBSD,
Linux, Solaris, Win95, 98, NT and it works fine.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,
