[vtkusers] VTK 5.2 ImagePlaneWidget.py crashes

[Carl Trapani]

Hi David,

Here's what I've done:

1) Started Visual Studio 2008 and opened the VTK.sln solution.
2) Set it to stop on access violation exceptions (Win32 Exceptions - 
c0000005 Access violation)
3) Opened a command prompt, cd'd to dir where ImagePlaneWidget.py is 
located and ran

python ImagePlaneWidget.py

4) Got the following at command prompt:
alloc: invalid block: 10089F90: 1 0

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

5) Then, a dialog prompted me to "Check online ..., Close, or Debug". I 
chose Debug and selected the already open instance of Visual Studio.

6) Then, VS displays this dialog:

First-chance exception at 0x0408579d in python.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation reading location 0x000001b4.

Break, Continue, Ignore, Pray, Start Drinking ...

I selected Break. Then, I get a dialog warning that VS doesn't have the 
symbols for Tk85.dll - but I can't subsequently get that warning when I 
re-run, so I'm not sure of the detail. Anyway ... here is the Call Stack:

Let me know if I can help further.
