[Paraview] Error Compiling 2.2.1 on Tru64 (2nd post) (fwd)

[Amy Squillacote]

This seems to be the same issue as bug #2103 in the bug tracker 
(http://www.paraview.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=2103).  This bug 
has been fixed in the main CVS tree for ParaView and on the 2.2 
branch, so it will be corrected in the 2.2.2 release.
