[Paraview] paraview - releases from 07/07 and 07/11 - are they broken?

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Randy,

This looks like an error we saw here recently.  Most likely, you have 
a #LookmarkMacros# and/or a #ParaViewlmk# that is completely empty in 
your $HOMEPATH directory (probably C:).  These are XML files 
associated with lookmarks (a fairly recent addition to ParaView).  If 
you delete the file(s), everything should run properly 
again.  Lookmarks are still under development, and we have asked the 
person working on them to correct the problem we (and now you) have seen.
