[Paraview] "Save View Image" crashes X on my Intel Mac

Hi all,
I recently switched from a PowerBook to a new Intel-based  
MacBookPro.  Using the compile options specified in the FAQ, ParaView  
compiles and runs just fine on the intel mac, but whenever I try to  
use the "Save View Image" command, X11 crashes.  I've tried stable  
releases ParaView-2.2, ParaView-2.4, and the cvs distribution, and  
all have the same problem.  As soon as I click "Save" after entering  
a file name, ParaView and X11 both die, leaving the message

   X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

on the command line.  I'm guessing that X is crashing and taking  
ParaView with it, but I'm not sure what's causing the problem.  I've  
looked for clues in the mailing list archives, but haven't seen any  
mention of quite this sort of behavior.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
