Crash SEGV at vtkCylinderSource::Update()

Support

Trying to create a VTK polydata using below code snippet
vtkSmartPointer spC=vtkSmartPointer::New();
spC->SetHeight(rodLen);
spC->SetCenter(0,0,0);
spC->SetRadius(rodRadius);
spC->Update(); <----- It crashes here

The above code snippet works fine when I call it in main(). The same crashes at Update() when I put it in the constructor of a globally initialized object.
