[vtkusers] Segmentation fault with sample applications (ATI graphics problem?)

[Charlotte Curtis]

I'm a new user of ITK/VTK, and I just finished compiling and building the
sample applications for ITK.  However, when I run them (for example,
ThresholdSegmentationLevelSet), I always get a segmentation fault.
Sometimes it happens when I click on Image Display, and sometimes I can
display the image no problem - the only consistency is that it always
crashes when I click VTK Render.  I tried running it in GDB and this is my
stack trace (minus a bunch of garbage lines):

#0  0xb7a01f2f in memcpy () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0xb64b080f in std::string::_S_copy_chars () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

>From the looks of things, it's something to do with the direct rending of my
graphics card driver (ATI X1600).

This happens with my dataset as well as with VTKData samples (such as
VTKData/data/HeadMRVolume.mhd).  Any clue what I can do?  It's a little
discouraging that not even the sample applications work.  Thanks,

Charlotte
