[vtkusers] [Insight-users] std::bad_alloc on rendering with vtkImagePlaneWidget

Have you some how ran out of memory? Remember on 32 bit operating
systems (especially windows) the address space is 2GB or 3GB and there
is the issue of address space fragmentation that further reduces the
ability to allocate large blocks. On 32 bit windows the largest block
is around 1.2GB as a result of this address space fragmentation unless
you use the /3GB boot switch, compile your application for
largeaddresssaware and probably rebase your dlls to mover them out of
the way.
