Hi all,
   I just saw the same error on a RH 64 bit Opteron system.  I just  
rebuilt VTK 5.4 and I suspect it's a 64 bit issue (although I haven't  
had time to track it down) just for the record, here's my error  
message (same as Anders)

ERROR: In /geo/home/mspieg/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArrayTemplate.txx,  
line 358
vtkIdTypeArray (0x731f400): Unable to allocate 4294967817 elements of  
size 8 byt
es.

+ lots of vtk griping

It seems to be showing up in at least three different versions of vtk  
5.2.1, 5.4 and 5.5... no problem on my OSX laptop
