[Paraview] How can I tell that Allocate succeeded?

[Burlen Loring]

Hi John,

If the call to Allocate fails it will not return. If VTK/Paraview has 
been built in Release mode, then a "vtkstd::bad_alloc()" exception is 
thrown  when the Allocate call fails. Otherwise, if VTK/Paraview has 
been built in Debug mode, abort is called. This behavior comes from 
within VTK, and was implemented a couple months ago, so you may need to 
have the cvs version.
