[vtkusers] App crashes unless compiled with debug config (Windows)

[Mike Chinander]

Is the end condition of your for loop correct? That's the only place
targetArray appears.

What I'm doing is pretty straight forward. I haven't changed the vtk code
at all.

vtkDirectory * sourceDir = vtkDirectory::New();
sourceDir->Open(sourceString.c_str());
vtkSortFileNames * sourceFiles = vtkSortFileNames::New();
sourceFiles->SkipDirectoriesOn();
sourceFiles->NumericSortOff();
sourceFiles->SetInputFileNames(sourceDir->GetFiles());
sourceFiles->Update();

for (int i = 0; i < targetArray->GetNumberOfValues(); i++)
{
     string s1 = sourceFiles->GetFileNames()->GetValue(i); // crash!
}

Thanks
Ollie
