Thanks! After updating I find that everything now works, almost. I'm using

   pvbatch
   ParaView CVS
   Qt 4.3.4
   MPI version mvapich2-1.0
   Mesa 7.0.1
   CentOS 5

Of the 2 nodes one has access to an X server and the default window (300x300) was displayed. The other node has no X server and so it seemed to be the one that crashed.

$ mpiexec -np 2 pvbatch cut.py

Why is pvbatch trying to display windows? Is this controled by some cmake option?

TIA!
