[vtkusers] vtk application ends with error

[William A. Hoffman]

That ESP error is usually caused by out of date object files.
I would recommend removing all of your compiled VTK and user code,
and rebuilding everything from scratch.   If that does not work,
you may want to try a tool like bounds checker or purify, because the
the problem is most likely a memory overrun in your code.  The only other
thing it could be is the OpenGL driver.   You could also try updating the
driver for your graphics card, but I doubt that is the problem.
