[vtkusers] thread safety

[Lodron, Gerald]

Hi

I programmed an own vtk Filter which internally has multiple threads. In each thread I create a vtkImageData object using

vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData>       oImage = vtkImageData::New();

the problem is that sometimes the New() operator crashes, I debugged it the the line 61 of vtkImageData.cxx:

this->Information->Set(vtkDataObject::DATA_EXTENT(), this->Extent, 6);

whereby the exact crash is in vtkInformationIntegerPointerKey.cxx on line 58:

if(this->RequiredLength >= 0 && length != this->RequiredLength)

wherehy the "this" pointer is zero. I am not so deep familiar with that, any suggestions?
