[Paraview] 3.2.1 Client-Server Render Errors and Crash

[Moreland, Kenneth]

The rendering artifacts look like it might be related to problems with
the clipping range.  What are the physical dimensions of the object
(that is, what does the Information panel report in the Bounds box)?

Is it possible to send us your data to play with?
