[Paraview] versions > 2.4 crashing painfully

[Berk Geveci]

There should be some sort of stack even if Qt and VTK are not compiled with
debug. However, I am confused, how can paraview be compiled debug and VTK
not?
I am guessing whatever is causing the crash is corrupting the stack also.
Can you try to run in valgrind? I believe valgrind is a debian package also
so getting it should be easy. Once you get it, simply run valgrind
