Sure. But all libcs (and libstdc++s) are standard. However, if your
VTK 5.2 has not been built against these libs then strange things
happen.

You do not say where you got your binary of the VTK from. The most
common cause of otherwise unexplained crashes in libc are caused by
incompatability between then application binary and the lib binaries.
