[vtkusers] Issues with large polydata datasets & capturing vt kOutputWindow data

[L.J. van Ruijven]

Over a year ago I encountered a similar problem. The problem is MS 
windows, which loads its drivers randomly in memory. Consequently, you 
may have more then a gig of free memory, while at the same time 
windows is not ably to allocate a contiguous array of 200 mb. 
Increasing the available RAM from 2 to 3 gigs is generally not enough 
to solve the problem. I solved this problem by switching to 64 bit 
windows, and 64 bit VTK. Another solution might be to switch to Linux, 
because Linux does not load its drivers randomly in RAM. So when Linux 
has 1 gig free memory, you can almost always allocate a contiguous 
array of 200 mb.

Leo.
