[Paraview] Possible bug in client/server mode regarding file opening.

[joseph insley]

I saw that a fix for this bug was committed to CVS, but was wondering  
when we can expect to see a release which contains the fix.

Also, is this a failure that happens every time ParaView 2.0.1 is run  
in client/server mode?  Or was there some rare condition that was met  
that most users will not run into?  We are deploying ParaView in a  
production environment, and are trying to decide whether we should go  
with 2.0.1, or wait for the next release.

Thanks,
joe.
