[vtkusers] vtkSmartPointer BUG

[David Cole]

I am not sure why that worked before...... It should have given you a memory
leak before. Maybe you didn't really have leak detection turned on before?
The correct New construct to use with vtkSmartPointer is:
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkSomeObject> ptr
= vtkSmartPointer<vtkSomeObject>::New();

HTH,
David
