[Paraview] Problems Including Custom Class At Compile In 2.4.1

[Kent Eschenberg]

I'm adding a reader to ParaView 2.4.1 on Fedora Core 4 using the approach 
described in

   <http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Extend>

The program crashes after the splash window (logos) is shown but before the 
main window appears with this message:

===
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Abort
===

The same thing happened under 2.4.0 where the debugger reported the 
following location for the crash:
