[vtkusers] Re: vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper question

[Randall Hand]

I've done a little more investigating, and discovered a few more things:

The crash occurs when my app hits 46 degrees (I'm only doing even degrees 
right now), but still crashes at 48 and 50 degrees as well. When I reset it 
to start at 180, it crashed at 262 degrees with a similar error. In my 
application I'm rotating by adjusting the camera's Azimuth property.

The crash seems to be coming from the VTKKWRCHelper_SpaceLeapCheck() macro 
in vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastHelper.h, which calls CheckMinMaxVolumeFlag in 
vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper.h. There seems to be some memory corruption 
going on that moves the actual error point in the core dump from one to the 
other, but they're related.

Has anyone else seen this problem before? I've filed it as bug #2029.
