[vtkusers] Adding image writer to the pipeline gets itk reader fails

[Marcos]

Well, now I don't understand at all.

The problem with itk ImageFileReader doesn't occur when I add the writer to
the pipeline... it's when I create the vtkJPEGWriter!!!!

The line:
vtkJPEGWriter* writer = vtkJPEGWriter::New();

is the problem.

Why?? It has nothing to do with the reading of the file!! It doesn't
execute, it's in another function I don't use at that moment!

I comment that line -and all the next with that object- I can read the file.

I just add that line: itkImageFileReader fails!!!

I'm just wasting a lot of time with this.
