[vtkusers] Error: "No memory left on the GPU even for a minimal block

[David E DeMarle]

Please report it on the vtk bug tracker. http://vtk.org/Bug/my_view_page.php

Please note that unfortunately there hasn't been enough interest to fund
Activiz's necessary upkeep and maintenance. Thus the likelihood of this
being fixed in any official release is low.

Even so, reporting the issue on the bug tracker will be helpful when
someone else who runs into the same problem.
