[vtkusers] bug with multiple render windows?

[Frank Broicher]

Hi everybody, hi Nick, John, and Nigel

first of all I think I should introduce a minimal program that produces
the memory leak. As you can see there are two windows opened that render
the same scene. When the rendering starts, memory is allocated rapidly
(on an Athlon 1.2GHz approx. 6MB per second), so the render function is
our starting point.

With best regards
	Frank

   ren1->AddActor(aSphere);
   ren2->AddActor(aSphere);

   while (1)
     {
       renWin ->Render();
       renWin2->Render();
     }
