[Paraview] 3.2.1 Client-Server Render Errors and Crash

[Kent Eschenberg]

This looks like bug #4368 that I first reported for 2.4.4.

When operating in client-server mode, and the server is rendering, there are 
rendering errors. Plus, when I try to set the center-of-rotation, the server 
crashes. Neither problem occurs when rendering on the client.

I've attached an image generated by File->Screenshot which matches what is seen 
on the screen. The crash messages are below. I saved the core dump.

To reproduce the problem I load the vtu file and display its outer surface. 
This surface is modest with 38712 cells and 19106 points. Next I turn off the 
display of the center-of-rotation, zoom in and out, and the rendering problem 
occurs. Finally I try to set the center-of-rotation to a point on the 
badly-rendered surface and the server crashes.

This, for us, is a serious problem as we and one of our users display this type 
of data often.

TIA!
