[Paraview] Animation crashes

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Mary,

Is the "Cache Geometry" check box marked (assuming the "Play Mode" is 
set to "Sequence")?  If it is, then try unchecking it and saving out 
your animation again.  When that checkbox is on, then ParaView tries 
to keep a copy of your geometry at each time step in memory.  If you 
have several time steps and non-trivial data, this can be more than 
will fit in memory, which would cause ParaView to crash.
