Tr : [vtkusers] Bug with vtkStructuredPoints when alloctaing scalars

hi,
well, I can say that I'm sure that I'm not running out of memory when I allocate memory, because I 'm doing tests with the same set of Images from wich I constitute the MPR plans and when I close the MPR window I do deallocate the memory allocated before and when I 'm testing I only run VS2005 to edit my project. Using the Window's Tasks Manager, and when the bug happens , I see that the memory is really deallocated after closing the window  but not reallocated after calling AllocateScalars in the next time.
-So why it goes allright for several times and in the tenth or more it crashes and in wicth conditions the allocation is not done?

-to answer to your question the set of the images is equal to : 300Mo
- my PC is a 1Go of RAM and a 3GHz clock processor (Intel P4).

thank you for your help!

Is it possible that you are running out of memory when you try to 
allocate the scalars? What are the dimensions of the vtkStructuredPoints 
dataset when AllocateScalars() does not allocate memory?
