[Paraview] versions > 2.4 crashing painfully

[Dominik Szczerba]

I have compiled PV 2.9 alpha with -g (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE debug) which I
confirmed by make VERBOSE=1. I run PV in gdb, it crashes on a file load,
with NO stack:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
It might be running in another process.
Further execution is probably impossible.
0xb1d511f0 in ?? ()
(gdb)
(gdb)
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb1d511f0 in ?? ()
#1  0xb4c2ad1c in ?? ()
#2  0x08095048 in ?? ()
#3  0x00000000 in ?? ()

My guess is I should use debug versions of QT and VTK too, but I didnt
see such configure options..?
