[vtkusers] Potential memory leak on render

I think you need more than what's reported in the WTM to be sure that memory has actually leaked.

 I tested all these memory problems by putting a break point on the return0; line and noting the memory in the Windows Task Manager.

How did you measure the memory usage?
