[Paraview] Crash occurs after clicking "File" then "Open"

[Cory Quammen]

Roman,

Thanks for the error report, it provides some useful clues. It looks
like ParaView is crashing when collecting information about the
mounted volumes on your system. Do you have an external drive or
network file system mounted on the Mac Pro that is crashing? If so,
could you try to unmount it and see if ParaView runs as expected?

Barring that, are there any non-Latin characters in the names of the
volumes mounted on the Mac in question?

Thanks,
Cory
