[vtkusers] Error in vtkAppendPolyData

Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

In my vis app, users can apply cutting planes to whatever they're 
visualizing.  If they're visualizing the surface, then I use 
vtkClipPolyData to clip the output of vtkDataSetSurfaceFilter, and 
combine that with the output of a vtkCutter to cap the hole in the surface.

Anyway, something doesn't work right if the initial data has cell data 
and 2D cells.  But vtkAppendPolyData doesn't process the cell data 
correctly.  I've appended a code example that demonstrates the problem 
(change the "#define CLIP" from 0 to 1 and recompile to see the error), 
as well as two images illustrating the error.  Notice how the colors are 
obviously incorrect in the clipped object.

I'm using the latest VTK from CVS, BTW.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
John
