[vtkusers] Problem with VTK 4.5 in Linux glibc error

[Marcio Antonio Mathias]

Have another VTK user ever realized the contents of
the following Rabak's post? It looks glibc is pointing
to the reason for many "memory leaks troubles"
reported not only on scripts handling DICOM files but
also in many other trouble reports on the list.
Downgrade 
glibc to 2.3.3 version does not make me fell
confortable at all.
