Just to clarify:
I use 5.0.2 because the final result must go into a C++ application
thta was last built using VTK 5.0.2 and BDS2006 C++Builder. Trying to
port it to RAD Studio XE4 without any other changes.

But in order to see if a later version would be "better" build-wise I
have also used release 5.10.1 (latest on the 5 level) and this does
not choke on "eatwhite", in fact it continues for some time before it
also hits a roadblock on Undefined structure '_stati64' :
